Zenit Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. was established in 2010 through a partnership between Proccea Construction and Galata Mining (a subsidiary of Ariana Resources PLC). As of 2021, Özaltın Holding has entered the industry as a partner. Currently, the shareholding structure consists of Özaltın Holding with 66.6%, Proccea Construction with 23.5%, and Galata Mining with 9.9%.
The company completed feasibility and EIA studies for its priority target, the Sındırgı-Kızıltepe Project, and began production in April 2017. Ore extracted through open-pit mining was processed at the facility using the tank leaching method to produce doré bars containing gold and silver, which were then refined to 99.9% purity and sold on the Istanbul Precious Metals Exchange (İKMB), with priority purchase rights held by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye. The company completed its final production at this project in 2026.
At the Tavşan gold and silver mine project, located within the borders of the Simav and Tavşanlı districts of Kütahya province, construction and installation works along with facility commissioning have been completed. Gold production began in 2026, and the facility reached full capacity within the same year.
Exploration and reserve development activities continue in the Ardala-Salınbaş-Hızarlıyayla Project, located within the borders of the Ardanuç district of Artvin province
Zenit Mining aims to be an establishment that contributes to the economy and employment at regional and national levels, respecting human and cultural values, being environmentally conscious, utilizing advanced technology, and positioning itself among the leading precious metal producers in our country.
