Zenit Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. was established in 2010 in partnership with Proje-A Construction and Galata Mining (a subsidiary of Ariana Resources PLC). As of 2021, Özaltın Holding has entered the industry as a partner. Currently, the share distribution within the existing partnership stands at Özaltın Holding 53%, Proje-A Construction 23.5%, and Galata Mining 23.5%.
The company, with its primary goal set on the Sındırgı-Kızıltepe Project, completed feasibility and EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) studies and began production in April 2017. Ore produced through open-pit mining at the facility is processed using the tank leaching method, resulting in the production of doré bars containing gold and silver. After being sent to the refinery for separation, the produced doré bars are transformed into gold and silver bullions of 99.9% purity and sold on the Istanbul Precious Metals Exchange (IKMB) with priority for purchase by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey.
Zenit is also in the phase of transitioning to production in the Tavşan Gold and Silver Mine project located within the Simav and Tavşanlı districts of the Kütahya province. The permission phase of this project has been completed, and construction investment is currently underway.
Exploration and reserve development activities continue in the Bilecik-Pazaryeri project.
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.
