Mining Operations.

Following the 2004 takeover through the privatisation of TEKEL’s salt mines, salt-mining operations are carried out across a total area of 1,370 hectares in the Tuzluca district of Iğdır and the Kağızman district of Kars.

With salt reserves of 1.76 billion tonnes, the mines supply the salt needed by highways in winter conditions across Türkiye’s Eastern, South-Eastern and Black Sea regions, while also meeting the production needs of livestock and various industrial sectors.

In addition, by supplying the industrial and transport networks of Georgia and neighbouring countries, it contributes to logistics and industrial development on a regional scale.
