"Turkey is still relatively new to mining but there are a lot of reserves and after the privatization drive, the industry grew rapidly. However, we still do not have a high enough level of exploration and there are social and environmental problems, which means it is difficult to get permits."

At the same time, the provinces’ depth of mining expertise – from AI-driven exploration to advanced drilling, blasting, and geophysics – ensures that technological advantage is firmly on their side.
