Energy and Water Source
Textured Quartzite Features
The ore primarily comprises quartzite charectirized by its fracturated texture and varying color shades such as beige,cream or dirty yellow making it visually distinctive and valuable in diffrent applications.
Beige Cream
Formation Process
This mineral deposit is categorized as a vein ore, which is formed through hydrothermal processes in sedimentary limestone, enhancing its economic viability and extraction potential.

Open Pit Mining Method
The proposed mining method is open pit, which allows for efficient extraction of quartz while progressively advancing the quarry through step formations.This method is ideal for the geological characteristics of the site facilitating safe and effective mining operations.
Effective Mining
QUARTZ SCHIST CONTAINING LITTLE MICA
The sample is a metamorphic rock formed by regional metamorphism of fine-grained sandstone very rich in quartz. Regional metamorphism has resulted in slight elongation of the minerals, resulting in a directional texture. Quartz crystals, which constitute the main component and have short-axis grain sizes ranging from 0.02 to 0.1 mm, are generally interlocked in contact formations. Small amounts of thin,platy mica minerals,possibly composed of sericite and biotite,are observed among the quartz crystals (Photo).Iron oxide staining,appearing as brown spots on some mica minerals has also been observed.
General view of the sample thin section under polarizing microscope double-lens. Among the quartz (Q) crystals that constitute the main component and show different extinction positions, small amounts of thin sheet-like mica (Mi) minerals, which may be of sericite ± biotite composition are observed.
Climate and Geography
Mediterranean Climate
Significant Geographic Position
The area lies between the 37-38 north parallels and 36-37 east meridians,marking it as a significant geographic position for mining activities. Only 225 km from port,the site offers efficient transportation routes for export and logistics.
Climate and Operational Schedule
The region is characterized by a Mediterranean climate,featuring mild,wet winters and hot,dry summers.
This climate significantly influences mining operations which are scheduled to run for 9 months each year with operations occurring 26 days a month for 8 hours daily.
Temperatures remain below 0°C for 40 days a year and above 30°C for 120 days.
Snow cover generally lasts no longer than a week.
Mountainous Terrain: Opportunities for Mining
The northern region of the province is characterized by a predominantly mountainous landscape, comprising 59.7% mountains, 24% plateaus, and 16.3% plains.
This topography provides various opportunities for mining and exploration activities due to its natural formations and mineral richness.
Highest Elevation 1690 m
Although the licence area has a hilly structure, there are connection roads.
The highest elevation within the site is 1690 m and the lowest elevation is around 1200 m.
It is generally covered with forested area.
A very large part of it consists of forest lands and the remaining part consists of private lands.
