Gold mining requires close interaction with nature. At Yıldız Bakır, we adopt sustainable practices that minimize environmental impacts while maximizing production efficiency.
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)
Before any project begins, comprehensive EIA reports are prepared to evaluate soil, water, air quality, and biodiversity. These assessments guide our environmentally-conscious operational planning.
Waste Management and Recovery
-
Waste is carefully separated and managed according to hazard level.
-
Filtration and water recycling systems help minimize freshwater consumption.
-
Recyclable materials are returned to the economy in line with zero-waste principles.
Water Resource Protection
-
Water usage is monitored and minimized through closed-loop systems.
-
Ground and surface water quality is continuously tested.
-
Sustainable water management is integrated into daily operations.

Site Rehabilitation and Reforestation
Upon completion of mining in a particular area:
-
Soil is renewed,
-
Native plant species are replanted,
-
Ecosystems are gradually restored to their original state.
Protecting Biodiversity
Local flora and fauna are identified and protected. Independent ecological assessments are carried out to ensure wildlife habitats remain undisturbed.
Monitoring and Transparency
Environmental indicators (air, water, soil, noise) are regularly monitored and reported to government agencies. Our internal audits ensure continuous improvement and full legal compliance.
“We don’t see nature as a resource, but as our shared living space.”
