Resumen de Akdeniz: : A partnership made in the Mediterranean

Industrial Minerals

• "We produce enough magnesite to supply all of our internal production, which is around 30,000 tpa," explains Akin Bayazit, sales and marketing manager at Akdeniz. "Not all of this is high grade material, but the majority is very high purity CCM." [Akdeniz]'s deposits consist of three main concessions totalling 4,238 ha (42.38km[superscript]2 ), containing what Bayazit describes as "significant proven reserves". Mining of cryptocrystalline type magnesite ore is carried out in open cast pits. The company's main factory is located at Kumbet and consists of two shaft kilns and one rotary kiln, processing facilities - crushing, screening, magnetic separation, mixing, milling, packing, storage, and forwarding - a laboratory, quality control and an earthmoving equipment maintenance workshop.
