About ZiiC Metal

ZiiC Metal is one of Turkey’s leading mining and metals companies, with integrated expertise in the exploration, extraction, processing and production of Copper, Molybdenum, Silver, Zinc and Lead. As Turkey’s only established Molybdenum producer, the Company combines extensive geological expertise with advanced mining and mineral processing capabilities. ZiiC Metal is also widely recognized for its responsible environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, reflecting its commitment to sustainable and responsible resource development.
Building on this foundation, ZiiC Metal creates value through robust safety standards, operational excellence, advanced technical capabilities and efficient production systems. The strategic geographic location of our mining assets, the depth and quality of our mineral reserves, consistent product quality and competitive production economics provide significant advantages across our operations. In addition to our producing assets, we maintain exploration properties in strategically important Zinc and Lead mining districts throughout Turkey, supporting the long-term expansion of our resource base. ZiiC Metal’s mine portfolio also includes one of the world’s significant deep Molybdenum ore mining operations, where geological conditions require specialized extraction methods, mine planning and ore handling technologies.
The strategic importance of Molybdenum is closely linked to the increasingly demanding performance requirements of modern industry. Engineers require materials capable of delivering higher strength, toughness, elevated-temperature performance, low-temperature reliability, corrosion resistance and superior wear resistance. Molybdenum is a critical alloying element that enhances the mechanical and metallurgical performance of steels and iron-based alloys. When combined with elements such as Chromium and Nickel, Molybdenum contributes to an optimized balance of strength, toughness, hardness and wear resistance that cannot be achieved with conventional unalloyed steels. Its distinctive contribution to high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance and structural durability makes Molybdenum essential for demanding applications across energy, engineering, construction, chemical processing and advanced manufacturing industries.
Our integrated business model extends beyond mining and concentrates production into mineral processing, metallurgical operations and international metals trading. ZiiC Metal is a major private producer of Lead, Zinc and Molybdenum concentrates in Turkey, with capabilities spanning ore extraction, crushing, grinding, flotation concentration, concentrate handling and downstream metallurgical processing. By integrating mining operations with mineral beneficiation and commercial activities, we are able to optimize recovery rates, improve product consistency and maximize the value of polymetallic ore resources throughout the production chain.
ZiiC Metal is also a leading producer and supplier of Zinc-based chemical products in Turkey. Our operations are supported by a comprehensive raw-material sourcing network, and we actively cooperate with miners, galvanizing companies, smelters and industrial producers to secure Zinc Ore, Zinc Concentrates and Zinc Ash Fines. Through systematic raw-material qualification, laboratory analysis and process-oriented procurement, we aim to establish reliable supply channels while maintaining consistent chemical and metallurgical specifications.
As an established participant in Turkey’s metals and minerals industry, ZiiC Metal produces and exports Zinc Ingots, Lead Concentrates and Molybdenum Concentrates while also sourcing, importing and distributing Zinc and Lead ores and concentrates from international markets. Our vertically coordinated supply and trading structure enables us to connect mining operations, processing facilities, smelters, industrial consumers and international buyers through an efficient and reliable supply chain.
Supported by many years of operational and commercial experience, ZiiC Metal has developed a strong position in Turkey’s mining and metals market and established a recognized presence in international markets. Our expertise across exploration, mine development, mineral processing, concentrate production, metallurgical applications and global trading enables us to respond effectively to changing market conditions while maintaining a strong focus on product quality, operational reliability and long-term customer relationships.
Looking ahead, ZiiC Metal is focused on increasing the annual production volumes of Copper, Molybdenum and Zinc-Lead ores while continuously expanding its mineral resource base. Several development and investment projects are currently being advanced to increase mining and processing capacities, improve recovery and process efficiency, and strengthen downstream production capabilities. Our long-term strategy is to move progressively from raw ore production toward higher-value concentrate and finished metal products, creating greater value from Turkey’s mineral resources and strengthening ZiiC Metal’s position in the international metals and mining industry.
