About

I am actively working as a mineral exploration chief/project geologist within the scope of the Central and Western Black Sea (Türkiye) Metallic Mineral Exploration Project of General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration (Geological Survey of Türkiye). I am fulfilling my duties for all phases of a mineral exploration program through the licenses held by the institution as well as the potential areas around the region.
