- Koza Altin Isletmeleri A.S. engages in the exploration, development, and operation of gold mines primarily in Turkey. The company owns and operates gold mines in locations including Ovacik-Bergama-Izmir, Çukuralan-Izmir, Kaymaz-Eskisehir, Mastra-Gümüshane, and Himmetdede-Kayseri. It produces unprocessed gold and silver bullions which it sells to refineries in Turkey and Europe. Founded in 1989, the company is headquartered in Ankara, Turkey.
Koza Altin’s core products and services include gold mining operations utilizing both underground and open-pit methods, mineral exploration, development of gold projects, and bullion sales. The company manages multiple active mines and projects, including various capacity expansions and new mine development initiatives designed to increase its gold production.
Recent major company changes include significant production growth targets with plans to increase gold output to over 40 tons within five years, supported by new mines such as the Ağrı Mollakara gold mine projected to become operational soon, which will add substantial production capacity. Legal and environmental approvals have facilitated capacity expansions at existing mines like Çukuralan and Kaymaz. The company also underwent share transactions including repurchase programs and structural consolidations under its parent Koza İpek Holding to optimize operational efficiency and asset integration. These initiatives position Koza Altin to achieve a projected 150 percent increase in gold production by 2026 compared to 2024 levels.
The company operates within the gold mining and precious metals industry, targeting primarily the domestic Turkish market while exporting bullion to European refineries. It maintains an extensive portfolio of exploration licenses across key Turkish mining regions. Koza Altin is a subsidiary of ATP İnşaat ve Ticaret A.Ş., a holding company under Koza İpek Holding, preserving a focused corporate structure aimed at growth and operational scale within Turkey’s mining sector.
