The Çöpler project is owned and operated by Anagold Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (Anagold). SSR controls 80% of the shares of Anagold, Lidya Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Lidya), controls 18.5%, and a bank wholly-owned by Çalik Holdings A.S., holds the remaining 1.5%. Exploration tenures surrounding the project area and mining at Çakmaktepe are subject to joint venture agreements between SSR and Lidya that have varying interest proportions. SSR controls 50% of the shares of Kartaltepe Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (Kartaltepe) and 30% of Tunçpinar Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (Tunçpinar). The remaining 50% of shares for the Kartaltepe and 70% of shares of Tuncpinar are controlled by Lidya.

Deposit Type

  • Skarn
  • Carbonate replacement
  • Epithermal
  • Porphyry
  • Vein / narrow vein


Summary:

Porphyry copper–gold systems host some of the most widely distributed mineralisation types at convergent plate boundaries, including porphyry deposits centred on intrusions; skarn, carbonate-replacement, and sediment hosted gold deposits in increasingly peripheral locations; and high to intermediate-sulfidation epithermal deposits.

The alteration and mineralisation in porphyry copper–gold systems are zoned outward from the stocks or dyke swarms, which typically comprise several generations of intermediate to felsic porphyry intrusions. Porphyry copper (± gold, ± molybdenum) deposits are centred on the intrusions, whereas carbonate wall rocks commonly host proximal copper–gold skarns, less common distal zinc–lead and/or gold skarns, and, beyond the skarn front, carbonate replacement copper and/or zinc–lead–silver (± gold) deposits, and/or sediment-hosted (distal-disseminated) gold deposits. Peripheral mineralisation is less conspicuous in non-carbonate wall rocks but may include base metal-bearing or gold-bearing veins and mantos (Sillitoe, 2010). Skarn deposits are typically hosted in mineralogically simple finegrained clastic and carbonate sedimentary rocks. Skarn mineralogy and metal content is largely dependent on the crystallisation history and genesis of associated plutons (Meinert et al., 2005).

The Çöpler district is located near the north margin of a complex collision zone and to the south of the prominent North Anatolian Fault Zone. The Çöpler d ........


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Open pit mining at the Çöpler project is carried out by a mining contractor and managed by Anagold. The mining method is a conventional open pit method with drill and blast and utilising excavators and trucks operating on bench heights of 5 m. The mining contractor provides operators, line supervisors, equipment, and ancillary facilities required for the mining operation. SSR provides management, technical, mine planning, engineering, and grade control functions for the operation. SSR currently operates a sulfide process plant and an oxide heap leach facility.

New pit designs were created in 2021 based on updated metal prices and costs.

The key aims of the optimised pit designs are:

• Minimise mining costs and maximise economic return by exposing the highest value ore with minimum waste mining.

• Address operational requirements for loading, hauling, slope stability, and rockfall, as follows:
- Loading – the phases were designed with a minimum operational width of 15–30 m between phases (depending on bench configuration) to allow efficient mining for the equipment scale.
- Hauling – generally, two exit haul roads per phase were included: the west bound exit to the crusher, low-grade stockpile, and west dump; and the east bound exit to the potentially acid forming (PAF) and non-acid forming (NAF) dumps. Haul roads are generally 15 m wide at a 10% gradient. Single-lane haulage traffic is allowed in the lower benches of the ........
