SİVAS INVESTMENT GUIDE 21 2017 22 UNDERGROUND RESOURCES
Sivas is one of the most abundant provinces of Turkey in terms of underground sources; hence, it is referred as a city of mining. Mineral resources as geothermal resources, mineral
2017 water resources, spring water resources, natural stone resources and metallic minerals - iron mine in particular – are the natural wealth of the province steering its economy.
Sivas is a city of mining SİVAS INVESTMENT GUIDE INVESTMENT SİVAS
Even though there are 11 geothermal resources, water temperature of which varies from 25°C to 49°C in Sivas including the downtown, Kangal, Suşehri, Şarkışla, Yıldızeli and Zara, there seem significant opportunities to make use in terms of tourism and healthcare investments owing to the lack of licenced accommodation facilities excluding the ones in Sıcak Çermik, Soğuk Çermik and Kangal. Modern facilities that may be put up with a more professional management approach in the vicinities of the mentioned regions will surely increase the territorial charm in this sense. These geothermal resources can even be made use of greenhouse investments.
Of high quality natural spring water resources eligible for bottling facility investments take place in Yıldız Mountain, Köse Mountain, Tecer Mountain, Gürlevik Mountain and Yaman Mountain in addition to Yıldızeli and Doğanşar districts.
When looked through the overall province; iron, chromium, lead-zinc, cement and brick raw materials, travertine, celestine, kaolin, barite, talc, salt and lignite are emerged as the prominent underground wealth.
Divriği, the most important region in Turkey in terms of iron reserves, hosts 65,4 million tons of reserves which correspond to 36% of total iron reserves of our country. Considering the absence of an integrated iron & steel plant in the region, by all means, it is expected that such an investment will contribute to the provincial and national economy by making use of the present reserve. Divriği, the most important region in Turkey in terms of iron reserves, hosts 65,4 million tons of reserves which correspond to 36% of total iron reserves of our country. 2017 24 SİVAS INVESTMENT GUIDE Thanks to lignite deposits in the province, requirement for energy raw material of Kangal of material raw energy for requirement province, the in deposits lignite to Thanks evaluated from theinvestment pointofview. tobe issue toproductsrendersmanufacture havingvalueability this added structure and among mining exports of Sivas.
