Bigadiç mine

Both primarily consist of colemanite and ulexite; they differ mainly in the secondary minerals found in them: hydroboracite, howlite, and probertite in the upper layer, and inyoite, meyerhofferite, tertschite, and hydroboracite in the lower one.

[2] Together, the four mines at Bigadiç produce a combined 1.5 megatonnes of boron per year (split between colemanite and ulexite).

On-site ore processing began in 1980 with the addition of a concentrator facility;[2] additional concentrators were added in 1985 and 2007, and specialized grinding facilities were added in 1998, 2007, and 2012.

[3] Boron processing at Bigadiç now encompasses crushing and grinding, filtering, homogenization, and packing.
