Background

Sector B, covering 1,787 hectares, would supply Alpu power station and was included in a tender which was due to end January 2018 but was postponed to March 2018. In August 2018 Turkey's Council of State’s 14th chamber upheld a ruling by an administrative court in the western province of Eskişehir that the mine requires an environmental impact assessment (EIA)
