Çöpler gold mine

Erzincan, Erzincan Province, Turkey

Worked since 2010, the Çöpler mine exploits one of Turkeys largest gold-silver deposits.

Mindat lists 15 mineral species from the site, but with no photographs at all – meaning there are likely very few specimens being recovered from this site.

The site has suffered several ecological and humanitarian disasters in the past few years.
