One tonne of African gold is expected to be exported to Turkey by Hacıoğlu Gold Mining.
Production in gold-rich West Africa is expected to reach around 9 million tonnes by 2024. After the strong growth in 2019, although the pandemic had a significant impact mainly in the second quarter of 2020, gold mining activities in West Africa continue unabated. Gold mining activities, which are growing under the leadership of Ghana, Burkina Faso and Mali, which are among the continent's leading markets, are increasing by the day.
According to research data, gold production from the three major West African markets is expected to reach 8.4 million ounces (moz) by 2024.
Commenting on the gold mining market in the region, Hacıoğlu Gold Mining CEO Yasin Hacıoğlu said, "West Africa is one of the most important regions with strong gold mining activities. Keeping this in mind, we, as a company that has increased its capital to over TL 2.4 billion in Turkey, carry out gold mining activities in many continents, especially in Africa.
Africa is one of the most important markets in the field of gold mining. Stating that they have achieved significant success in Africa since 2011, "As Hacıoğlu Gold Mining, we were entitled to receive the mining award for Africa in an international award given in 2018. Our work in Africa, one of the most important markets in the world for gold mining, continues at full speed. Finally, we have initiated gold collection in West Africa," said Yasin Hacıoğlu.
Saying that they aim to become a global brand, while improving activities in the gold sector on a day-to-day basis, Yasin Hacıoğlu said, "We aim to export one ton of gold from West Africa to Turkey by 2023 in our gold collection operations. We believe that other companies will be born that will represent our country in global markets by achieving an exit in the mining sector, which is also on the rise in Turkey."
