Turkey’s mining and metallurgy company Eti Bakir has selected global design firm Stantec to review and evaluate its mining facility in Siirt Province.
For the mine, which has operated as an open pit facility for several years, Stantec will assist in its transition to an underground mining operation.
The project will be led by Stantec’s Canadian mining business line, with assistance on the ground from its local team members in Istanbul.
Stantec operations director Dr Murat Sarioglu said: “Our experience in underground mine design and related technical services is globally recognised.
“It’s great to come together as a multidisciplinary team to support our clients locally with global expertise.”
Throughout this year, mining experts from Stantec will support Eti Baki as their new underground mine moves through the project execution phase to being fully operational.
