Passive – Aggressive Mood of Turkish Mining Industry
Hazal Birses | [email protected]
Turkish mining industry has been seeking a way out from the drawbacks of the latest legislations for the last two years. The
government has been trying to provide an optimum solution, being conscious about the industry’s apprehensions and
demands. Authorities did not flinch from consulting public institutes or associations before enacting the mining legislations.
Companies, on the other hand, were suffering from two major subjects which are permitting process and the value of forest
lands. Exploration companies had difficulties obtaining environmental permits and surface areas; therefore many considerable
exploration projects had to be precluded by reason of permitting process. Besides, both exploration and production companies
were forced to pay high forest land fees in order to do operations.
A number of international exploration companies, including large scale companies, have decided to hand over their projects to
local or other international companies during this period. They showed “risky condition of Turkey” as their reasons for leaving.
On the contrary, some other internationally large scaled companies have entered to Turkish market to take advantage of this
tense atmosphere. These companies either consider this period an exact time to be involved in the mining industry of Turkey
or they see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The government has recently published a new amendment to the Mining Law No. 3213 on the official gazette. As a whole,
the amendment pleased the mining industry although some articles are not found satisfactory by company authorities. A
circular about all entailed lands of Turkey has been constituting the major problem of mining companies since 2012. The new
amendment failed to offer a solution to this problem, which obliges all transactions related to State owned lands subject to the
approval of the Prime Ministry. Hence, mining industry keeps insisting on their primary demands about the circular before it is
too late. On the other hand, recent efforts of government may relieve the industry’s anxiety.
The amendment cleared up an important struggle for the exploration companies. Some clauses of the Law had been penalizing
exploration companies by delicensing before the amendment; but now the companies are served with fine.
Thus, all the efforts of the exploration companies will not go down the drain for an unexpected reason.
Another unpleasant incident showed up with the application regulation of 16th article of the Forest Law no. 6831 on April
2014. Despite the complaints of the industry before the regulation, the regulation instead, tripled the value of use and sale of
government forest land. Hopefully, Republic of Turkey Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs published a draft that lowers the
value 50%.
In general, mining companies are optimistic about the future of Turkish mining industry. They believe that engaging in
dialogue with government structures will solve all of these problems eventually. Recent exploration results and opportunities
of Turkey keep attracting companies around the world. However, in order to accelerate the mining development of Turkey, the
government needs to get a move on. Collaboration between mining industry and government authorities with the consult of
associations, institutes and universities could be the driving force of this acceleration.
