Turkish Energy Minister: Discovery of a rare earth metal deposit will give a great advantage to the country in the near future

Turkish Energy Minister Fatih Denmez said during an event titled "Energy Goals for the Current Century" in Istanbul that a large deposit of rare earth elements has been discovered in his country, writes Hurriyet Daily News.

There are 17 rare elements in the periodic table of Mendeleev, and we found seven or eight of them in the town of Beylikova (a region in Central Anatolia). This is the second largest mine in the world.

- said the Turkish minister.

According to him, in the near future, a struggle will begin in the field of rare earth metals, similar to how energy wars took place in the past. After all, these elements are used in many modern technology and electronics, especially in the military industry.

As an example, Denmez cited the American F-35 fighter, whose parts and mechanisms contain about 45 kilograms of rare earth metals.

We will use these items for our own national needs and then sell them if there are export opportunities.

- the politician said.

In addition, the head of the Turkish Ministry of Energy noted the steps of his state in the course of achieving independence in the energy sector. According to him, Turkey is now actively exploring its own oil and gas fields.

We have started intensive exploration and drilling onshore and offshore. In fact, we have significantly increased our fleet. We did not have a single drilling ship and only one seismological vessel. Today we have four drilling ships, which are equipped with the latest world technology. We also have two very modern seismological research vessels

Denmez said.

Over one of the largest deposits of rare earth metals, the US military discovered the country of the Turks.

And now they are thinking about how to introduce democracy to them.

Yeah like in that ad:
Who else has found rare earth metals? We (USA) are coming to you!

[voyaka uh]

The United States has a large deposit of rare earth metals.
It's abandoned. When China began to export its metals, the American one became unprofitable.
They started buying from China. Now, when they quarreled with China,
want to resume mining. But investments and subsidies are needed.

[Fisherman]

rare earths are everywhere, the only question is how much their extraction and enrichment / purification will cost. The PRC spared no land (slag dumps), rivers (water for processing and discharge of alkalis and acids after processing), and forests, air (emissions) and people (extremely hazardous production) to conquer the world market. In the US, the same topic will cost the states an order of magnitude more. And the Turks ... the Turks are now in their land and they will find Kalashnikov assault rifles as fossil resources, they will register everything that can be resold as their own.

Of course, anything in life happens ...
But, for some reason, the suddenness, timeliness and richness of the deposit in Turkey inspires some concern.
I remember, for some reason, Jack London and "Tru-la-la village" ...

Although ... Anything can happen ...
So, that 20% of the world's reserves would lie underfoot and no one knew about them until now? ..

[solar]

The states are second only to China in the extraction of rare earth metals. But I preferred to buy from China for some time - it's cheaper than getting it from myself.

Now they are expanding domestic production.
As for Turkey, it is not known what the cost of production will be.

[Luka Nord]

What can I say, happy for Turkey! Erdogan, as a national leader, did a lot for the country and people of Turkey
I hope that Russia will not go into confrontation under the provocations of the Anglo-Saxons, of which there were a lot (the assassination of the ambassador, the downed attack aircraft, etc.) We need each other. And it would be nice for the Turks to leave NATO, then everything would have gone to a new level. .
We would agree!

[cold wind]

They are looking for something, building, producing, launching. The whole country is moving forward. In the early 90s in Ukraine and Turkey there were around 54~56 million people. Now in Ukraine there are not 40 million, in Turkey there are more than 84 million. That's what happens when the country moves forward. In the Russian Federation, the trend is towards a decrease in the population, only migration will compensate for the decline.

[alexoff]

In Turkey, for the most part, Kurds breed

[dump22]

That's what happens when a country moves forward.

The secret of rapid demographic growth is the high proportion of the rural population.
In Turkey, half of the entire population lived in villages right up to 1985!
For comparison, in the RSFSR in 1985 only 28% of the population lived in villages.

But then 93% of the total population moved to the cities of Turkey - and the growth of the Turkish population slowed down. Now, in general, only the share of the Kurdish population is practically growing there (there are already 30 million out of 84 million Kurds), which the Turks are not very happy with.

I suppose that and in the case of the burning of the Koran by the Swedes in Sweden, the ears also stick out, especially the British and American intelligence services.
The Anglo-Saxons of Britain for this are centuries-old masters of organizing provocations around the world in their favor from around the corner! Namely.

Well, Turkey does not want to accept Sweden and Finland against Russia into NATO - then the British will help Turkey change its decision in favor of NATO against Russia, at least at first with regard to only Finland's entry into NATO.
The main thing in this case for the Anglo-Saxons is to move the first stone from the road of Sweden and Finland to Russia.

Surely after reading this news in a distant "peaceful country" called the "cradle of democracy", the "nanny" hiccupped and a child burst into tears who does not have toys made of rare earth metals, and somewhere in a dark corner of the Congress, someone in masks, angrily and with rapture, beat the mustachioed Bolton, for blurting out the need to exclude Turkey from NATO.

Report in the oval office.

Quote: epicurean

For such deceit, Erdogan is feared and respected, unlike our narrow-minded commander in chief,

Erdogan gets away with his decisiveness by throwing all US resources into pacifying Russia. If similar sanctions were imposed against Turkey and the Kurds or Armenia was supplied with weapons like Ukraine, it is problematic that the Turkish people would endure such tests on their shoulders that have fallen to the lot of the Russian people for the past 9 years. Although Erdogan cannot be denied wisdom, decisiveness, or skill. Combining forceful methods with diplomatic ones, he achieved a lot. Luck loves them. It seems to me that even during his lifetime, Adjara, Macedonia, Libya, Algeria and Bulgaria will return to the Turkish Empire.

Something over the past year, the Turks too often began to discover mineral deposits that have no analogues in the world. Either gas, or oil, or rare earth, and each time these statements coincide with another political turn or incident. Even if they actually discovered it, then you still need to extract it all from the bowels, and often this is even impossible, with modern technologies. So, with a high probability - this is politicking, in its purest form.

[Graz]

The Turks have stated many times that they have found huge reserves of gas or oil or something. but in the end, everything turned out to be inflated by orders of magnitude and all the fields that they find have reserves for a couple of years of development, which does not justify the investment in installing the necessary infrastructure

There is an old joke on this subject. When an old man comes to the doctor and says It doesn’t work out with women, but my neighbor, who is even older than me, says that he is fine with this. He asks the doctor what to do. What the doctor said, and you, too, say that you can.

[bombaher]

Turks amaze me. In vain they said this to the Americans about metals, and even about independence in the military-industrial complex. For a puddle, this is not forgiven. Turkey will soon be declared an undemocratic country.

[raki-uzo]

In Turkey, as soon as the elections, even the dead break out of the ground and even vote for Erdogan. I am not kidding. He opens his palms and right there from under the ground, then the voices of the dead, then precious elements, then natural gas, then oil. Hope is a well traded thing in Turkey.

[pristav]

After the imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation, the Turks flooded ... Previously, oil was found, now rare earth. We received freshly caught sprats from Belarus

The Americans somehow thought that democracy was not enough in Turkey, it’s not the order when there is the largest birthplace of minerals, but there is no democracy.

[Reader_lover]

The closer the elections, the more Erdogan finds in Turkish soil). I wouldn't be surprised if gold, uranium, and the world's largest oil field are discovered by May. The canal replacing the Bosphorus has almost been dug, a couple of tens of kilometers remain. In general, choose me, choose me. ))

[andrey martov]

Truly, truly, I tell you that the time will come and each country will, sitting exactly on its territory, extract as many resources as it will have for millions of years of development. For under each country there are thousands of kilometers of resources deep into the earth. . .

[Osipov9391]

It’s very difficult for us with rare earth metals ourselves - it seems like there are enough deposits, but very little is being developed.
The main plant is located in Novosibirsk. However, what kind of raw materials it processes is unknown.

Tantalum, niobium, yttrium, hafnium and lanthanides are mainly imported to Russia from China and less often from South America.

An interesting situation was with manganese, titanium, zirconium. According to them, it seems like the leading production in Russia.
But there were problems with their raw materials.
Manganese, zirconium and titanium concentrate was purchased in Ukraine! At some GOKs. I do not remember.
The Crimean titanium plant worked on Ukrainian raw materials, as it was originally built for it. But in recent years, raw materials did not go from Ukraine, they took them from Norway, it seems, and because of problems with water, the plant barely worked.

But I repeat - there are deposits of these metals and they are extensive. Apatite placers and polymetallic sludge from copper-zinc plants.
There is just very little development.

[Osipov9391]

With copper, chromium and manganese, it is also interesting in Russia how it turns out.
Often, enterprises were forced to purchase scrap of these metals for processing or import them from Central Asia.
Zinc and copper are mainly supplied to Russia by Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Chrome supplies Kazakhstan almost completely.

Manganese is mainly supplied by China, and earlier by Ukraine.

[HattinGokbori88]

If Erdoğan lives another 10 years or the next leader turns out to be another Islamist, the US is likely to provoke a war between Turkey and Greece, in which NATO will fight on the side of Greece. That is why they are pushing Greece to arm every island that is very close to the Turkish coast. The islands were ceded to Greece as a punishment to the Turks for joining the Axis powers during World War I, and in accordance with the treaties, they must remain demilitarized. By arming these islands and claiming the surrounding seas, which are within Turkey's exclusive economic zone, the Greek-Israeli coalition is effectively making Turkey a landlocked country.

“There are so many American military bases in Greece that they cannot be counted,” Erdogan said a month after the US and Greece signed their renewed cooperation agreement, adding that “Greece has practically become an American outpost.”.

[Petr_Koldunov]

Turkish Energy Minister: Discovery of a rare earth metal deposit will give a great advantage to the country in the near future

Damn, how delusional. The discovery of this deposit - in the near future, most likely, will give "democratic demonstrations of the population of Turkey for their civil liberties" - and as a result, attempts to throw off the current efendi from their throne and seat the puppet of the United States there - which will launch American mining companies into the country, which will gut the bowels of Turkey and ship straight across the ocean.

[Chip4ik]

There is one bearded anecdote "Oil was found in the Antarctic. The bloody penguin regime does not have long to torment its people!" And the fact that there are no specific figures on the number of elements found, because the percentage has not yet been estimated, in fact, it is simply not cost-effective to clean up the elements in the samples anymore.
