Soner Temel Mühendislik İnşaat ve Ticaret A.Ş., a subsidiary of KRK
Holding, took over the Lead-Zinc-Gold-Silver-Copper mine exploration site
located in the Akdağmadeni, Yozgat on 31.05.2012, and on 19.11.2013 brought
this site to the degree of obtaining an operating license. In order to obtain
the operating license for the site, the "Business License" consent
letters from the Yozgat Special Provincial Directorate of Administration; the
permits and other documents obtained from the public institutions have been
submitted to the General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs and
studies on the 7th article of the mining law are continuing.
Up to this time, a total of 23,831.85 m of drilling has been carried out in 161
locations in the site. Based on the analysis results of the core samples
together with the surface data, Ore body modeling and Mineral resource
estimation have been realized. In consideration of all the data obtained, we
have studies done on the operating model and method of the site at the level of
“Scope Study”; ''Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimation'' and “Preliminary
Economic Assessment Report” at “JORC standards”.
EIA Report studies were completed on 18.12.2020 with the receipt of the “Environmental
impact assessment is positive “Certificate by making business planning in the concession
areas.
Moreover, IV. Group two (2) concession areas of 2731,06 hectares, have
been brought to our company. The sites are still in the process of licensing,
and subsequently, mine exploration activities in these sites will be started.
In addition to its contribution to the country's economy, this project
will bring-in such as procurement of materials-equipment and various service,
state's rights, charges and taxes, SSI premiums. The project will bring to successful
conclusions such as employment opportunities, consciousness-raising,
infrastructure-superstructure changes. A training on mining, safety and environmental
issues will be given to the personnel to be recruited. In addition, the
infrastructure investments (road, etc.) to be created in the project site will
be able to be used after the end of the mining activity.
