Turkish CommoditiesTURKEY RICH IN NATURAL RESOURCES
Turkey is a highly prospective and still relatively under-explored country for mineral resources. The country not only offers resource potential for Copper, Zinc, Gold, Manganese and Chrome, but also has one of Europe's most favourable investment climates for mining companies. Over the past 10 years the Turkish government has actively worked in partnership with foreign companies to enhance the development of its rich resources sector.
