Abstract

Mining is an extremely crucial sector that provides the necessary raw materials for several industries. The mining sector plays a significant part in the development and the socio-economical growth of any country as natural resources directly contribute to its value-added and increasing its employment rate. Our country is characterized by the wealth and the diversity of its mineral reserves. Therefore, empowering the production ensures the economic and technological development of the country by creating employment opportunities and meeting the needs in raw materials of several sectors. This paper reviews the international mining market by investigating the top produced minerals and their producing countries. In addition, this review paper studies the development of the mining sector in Turkey in the last few years and its contribution to the socio-economical growth of the country.
