Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/31/2012 --We are positive on the prospects of the Turkish mining industry due to the series of gold projects that will be coming online during the forecast period and also due to the government's plans to ramp up domestic coal production to reduce import reliance. Beyond coal and gold, the country is a major industrial mineral miner and has a thriving natural stones and industrial minerals mining sector.

Turkey is home to 866kt of borix oxide reserves, which according to estimates from state-owned Eti Maden constitutes 72% of global reserves. The global boron mining industry is very small. Eti Maden, together with Rio Tinto's US Borax, are already responsible for nearly 75% of total global boron production.
