Efemcukuru Mine and Kisladag Mine

Project Overview

The Efemçukuru project is contained within a 30 square kilometre mineral licence located in Izmir province on the west coast of Turkey approximately 20 kilometres from the provincial capital of Izmir. The mine is a high grade epithermal gold vein deposit, suited for underground mechanized mining. Ore is processed through a milling and floatation concentrate circuit on site. Flotation concentrate is transported to the Kişladağ mine in Uşak, Turkey.
