Our Tete Company’s exploration group is the managing partner and founder of the Ber-Oner Company, and headquartered in İstanbul since 1987, from the discovery of Sebinkarahsiar zinc mine in Blacksea region in the 1987s to Munella copper deposit in Albania and Emarat zinc deposit in 2000s, Tete Company’s exploration group has a long history of successful global exploration and international mine development.
The management and staff have years of experience in this field and currently we are one of the major producer of lead-zinc and copper minerals in Turkey. The Company's exploration group and Partners are separated from one another in Agust 2005. The company’s exploration group changed its name to Tete Mining in 2005, that is established in honour of our late mining engineer collegue Mr Mustafa Tete.
Our current focus of exploration is principally in Balkans Region (Albania,Kosovo,Makedonia), Turkey and Central Asia with smaller programs in other highly prospective areas, on basic metal minerals: copper, zinc-lead and chromite.
All Ophiolite complexes of chromite are part of Tethyan ophiolite belts of the Alpine orogen which link to other Middle East and Asian ophiolites such as Iran in the east as well as to ophiolites in the Mediterranean region such as Turkish, Troodos Greek, and east Europe in the west. Chromite deposits in Albania, Turkey and in Iran are postulated to be related to Alpine orogen. They are mostly podiform types and irregular in their settings.
Our team has extensive experience in conducting feasibility studies and our team of experienced consultants has worked on such studies for chromite Mine in Turkey, Albania and in Iran.
