Türkiye has a significant potential in the mining industry with a wide range of mineral deposits, including nearly 70 different types of minerals such as coal, boron, lignite and gold. The mining tradition in Türkiye has a long history and has always played an important role for the economy since the earliest civilisations of Anatolia, including the Hittites, Phrygians, Phoenicians and Lydians. As Türkiye has a complex geology due to intense tectonic movements since ancient times, it has a wide variety of mineral production to the extent that it ranks tenth in the world in terms of mineral variety.
