Türkiye is set to establish a mining exchange aimed at enhancing financing options and price transparency in the sector, with a planned launch in 2026 pending regulatory approval. The Turkish Miners Association has indicated that the initiative is part of Türkiye's 12th Development Plan (2024-2028) and will create reference prices for minerals like gold and copper.

The exchange will operate from the Istanbul Financial Center. Türkiye's gold production is expected to fall to 28.4 tons by 2025, while mining exports increased by 3.4% to $6.2 billion last year. The country has signed mining agreements with Niger, Sudan, Somalia, and Uzbekistan.
