GÜMÜŞTAŞ MADENCİLİK

The foundations of Gümüştaş Mining were laid in 1982. A pioneer of Turkish private mining industry with its share in overall production and exports, Gümüştaş achieved its current shareholding structure as a result of the partnership agreement signed between Necati Kurmel, one of Turkey’s most prominent entrepreneurs, and Aydın Doğan.

In addition to its existing lead-zinc underground mining and flotation plant in Gümüşhane, in 2007, Gümüştaş, as a prominent producer of base metal and precious metal in Turkey, acquired the Niğde Bolkar gold-silver mine, one of the most important mine sites in the country. Subsequently, the company established a gold-silver enrichment plant in Niğde Tepeköy to expand the scope of its mining activities.
