The mysterious mine, which is used in many fields from agriculture to industry and has a growth property of 10 times when heated, is mined and processed in Sivas for the first time in Turkey and marketed to the world. Since there is no production in Turkey, we have to import the vermicutyl mine, which we had to import until recently, and now we extract it in Sivas and export it to the world after processing it. The mine, which attracts attention with its 10-fold growth feature when heated, is used in many fields from agriculture to industry.
This new mine, which Turkey has just recognized, is being mined in the village of Karakoç and Kapaklı in the Yıldızeli district of Sivas. The mineral, which is made available by heat treatment in the factory established by the young entrepreneur Barış Gazanfer Yıldırım, is exported to many countries of the world from Canada to Australia.The mysterious mine, which is used in many fields from agriculture to industry and has a growth property of 10 times when heated, is mined and processed in Sivas for the first time in Turkey and marketed to the world.

It Attracts Attention with its 10-Fold Growth Feature When Heated
The mine, which attracts attention with its 10-fold growth feature when heated, is used in many fields from agriculture to industry.
This new mine, which Turkey has just recognized, is being mined in the village of Karakoç and Kapaklı in the Yıldızeli district of Sivas.
The mineral, which is made available by heat treatment in the factory established by the young entrepreneur Barış Gazanfer Yıldırım, is exported to many countries of the world from Canada to Australia
A bed of Vermiculite mining exploration in the 1990s identified by the Directorate General of Technical Lightning initiated in 2004 by R & D efforts in the aftermath of the country’s economy have been added. Yıldırım was awarded the Production Award of the Yurt Mining Development Foundation in 2016 for his work. Barış Gazanfer Yıldırım, who gave information about his work, which is the first in Turkey, stated that the mine is a natural mineral and said, “Vermiculite mineral is an industrial raw material. There are more than 3 thousand minerals in nature. Is one of them. This mineral contains elements such as magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium, which are especially useful in agriculture, it is a natural mineral,” he said.
Although the raw material expands when heated, it lightens, Yıldırım said, “The biggest feature of this mineral is that it expands and lightens when it is subjected to heat treatment. With this shape, it is light, but there is an area of use that provides the plant with the necessary minerals. Therefore, this material is used both abroad and in our country. Although it is organic, the usage rate in our country is unfortunately much lower compared to other chemical fertilizers. We see that chemical fertilizer is a big problem in the world now. It is shown as a cause of many diseases,” he said.
Vermiculite Has the Property of Water Retention
Yıldırım stated that the mine gained water retention properties after undergoing heating treatment and said, “This material feeds the plant organically. Its water holding capacity is quite strong, as it expands when subjected to heat treatment. Because it holds water in its body, it can transfer the water it holds to the plant after irrigation.”
Stating that they export the product to many countries, Yıldırım said, “From Australia to Canada. We export from America to Holland, Spain, Mexico. We also supply our products to the domestic market. Currently, this product is imported in our country. Our aim is to benefit our country by preventing imports and increasing our exports, ” he said.
Recalling that the vermicutyl mine was found in Sivas by the Mineral Exploration and Exploration (MTA) in 1990, Yıldırım said, “Drilling operations were carried out by the MTA in the Dec. 90s. But unfortunately, it has not been converted into investment and put into production. Some companies have tried, but without success. Because it required a serious R& D to Decouple it from the stone from the soil. We have worked with expert consultants from abroad. As a result, we have established a factory that can produce, ”he said.
Yildirim, Vermiculite mine is used in the brake pads and engine insulation of electric cars, this domestic mine can also be used in the national automobile, stating that: “This mine is also used in the production of brake pads. This mineral is used in the brake pads of expensive and high-tech vehicles. I hope that in the coming years, this mine of ours can be used in the brake pads of our domestic cars. We can make the safety materials of our national cars with our own and national materials. At the same time, it can also be used as an insulating material in electric cars, as it also has electrical insulation properties.”
