Notes:
Turkey is believed to produce wollastonite
(a) From petroleum refining and/or natural gas
(b) Other
(c) The only gold producer is Normandy Madencilik A.S. in Turkey.
Normandy Madencilik A.S. produces "doré bullion"
in Ovacik Mine.
In 2003, 10,4 tons of doré bullion were produced
by that company.
The average composition of the doré bullion is
as follows:
51,8% AU,
47,7% Ag and
0,8% other metals
