I am referring to the iron field in Simav, Kütahya. This company has been producing iron in that field for years. Do you know what they did when the iron in their licensed area ran out? They drilled roughly 182 boreholes. For what purpose? To find where the ore had gone, in which direction it had extended. The result? Nothing. 182 boreholes, zero results. In the end, they concluded “nothing will come out of here” and decided to abandon the field. At precisely this point, a friend who is the exploration manager at one of the country’s largest gold mining companies stepped in and put our name forward. “Let them have a look as well,” he said. We went to the field, examined it, and told the official the following: “Send us the licensed areas where you could drill tomorrow. If we say there is iron within these areas, then start drilling without losing any time. Let us see the result quickly, and plan the field afterwards.” Do you know what answer we received? “We have already drilled everywhere in the licensed area. We carried out 182 boreholes and found nothing.” And we said: “It doesn’t matter. Send us the areas where you could drill tomorrow anyway.” They sent them. We identified two points within this area and communicated them to the company. The company went out and drilled those two points. And the result? What they could not find in 182 boreholes, we intersected in two. Let me state it plainly: hematite iron. Not open to debate, no excuses. What happened after they saw this? The company handed the field over to us. And we did not stop there. We were not content with the existing area alone. Some 4.6 kilometres beyond the licensed area whose production had ceased, we identified a new area that they had never known of and never noticed. We provided two drilling points for this area. The permitting process took approximately 1 year. Drilling began. And the result was the same once again: A discovery of iron ore 70 centimetres thick at both points. So, in short, let me put it this way: What others could not see with hundreds of boreholes, we demonstrate at two points. This story shows us one thing clearly: In mining, success comes not from the number of boreholes, but from correct geological reading, correct targeting and the correct strategy.
Another interesting piece of work of ours took place at a zinc field in the Niğde region. We were introduced to the company on the recommendation of a friend. At that time, the company was already continuing with its core drilling. We first asked a direct question: “Share with us the core drilling points currently in the field that you planned through joint decisions with geophysics companies and geologists and that are still ongoing. And we will tell you openly whether zinc will come out of these boreholes.” On hearing this, the company was frankly surprised. “Does such a technology exist? Is this really something that can be known?” they asked. Our answer was clear: “Yes. We will tell you this accurately and plainly.” Thereupon the company sent us the start and end coordinates, the angles and the azimuth values of the angled core drilling it had carried out. We made our determinations and said, without beating about the bush: “This borehole lies outside the zinc reservoir area in the field. No zinc will come from this. This borehole will fail.” And what happened? When the drilling was completed, we were proved right. Not a single gram of zinc came out of that hole. It was from that point on that the company’s view changed. They said that they would work with us on the next drilling plan, that they would receive direct support from us and would request research services from us. In other words: We stated the result in advance while drilling was ongoing, and once the result became clear in the field, it became evident who knew what. This work is not a matter of guessing; it is a matter of reading and correct analysis. And that is exactly what we do.
Another very clear and powerful piece of work of ours took place on the Dark Continent, in Liberia. A mining company sent us the boundaries of its field. We did not sit down and speculate; we clearly marked and positioned the areas containing gold and sent them to the company. Let me be frank: the result was as we expected. The company began working with an excavator inside the KMZ area we had drawn and at the coordinates we had identified. And what happened? They discovered the gold right at the surface. That is, without even going down to drilling, gold came out on the very first dig. The company thereupon continued its work without losing any time. The summary of this work is this: We do not say “there may be”; we say “it is here.” And when the field is entered, our word is confirmed exactly.
Another piece of work of ours took place in the Şırnak–Hakkari region, again at a zinc field. For this company we clearly drew the surface projection of the zinc-bearing areas in the field. We also stated openly: “Wherever you drill within these areas we have drawn, you will find zinc. But the moment you go outside these areas, every borehole you drill will fail.” But conditions in the field were difficult. Access problems arose due to snow, and they could not place the drilling rig at every point they wanted. Out of necessity, they began angled drilling from a point where the rig could be set up. The first angled borehole was carried out at an angle and direction determined entirely by the choice of the company’s own mining and geologist team. When they informed us of this angle and direction, we spoke plainly: “Yes, you will find zinc at this angle. But you are going in the wrong direction. You are drilling towards the outside of the reservoir. For that reason, little zinc will come out here. Had you drilled vertically, or gone in exactly the opposite direction to this angle, you would have found far more zinc.” And what happened in the field? The first borehole indeed yielded little zinc, because it extended outside the reservoir area. On the second borehole, this time they reversed the angle exactly as we had directed and drilled towards the centre of the reservoir. The result? The quantity of zinc increased significantly. In all 4 separate boreholes drilled in this area, the results were as we had determined. Because the boreholes were being drilled directly into the reservoir area, and zinc was found in every one of them. Subsequently, entirely by the decision of its own geologist and mining team, the company opened one more borehole outside the reservoir area. What did we say the moment we saw this borehole? “This borehole will fail.” Because it was very clear: it was outside the zinc reservoir area. And yes, this borehole too ended in failure, exactly as we had said. So in this field as well we clearly proved the following: We are able to determine and draw the surface projection areas of the minerals in a field with extreme precision. This is not merely a claim; it is a fact that has been confirmed in the field time and again.
Another piece of work of ours concerned an antimony mine, in the Tokar region. As the reserve in the company’s production area in the field had been exhausted, it had almost reached the point of abandonment. They asked us openly: “Is there still antimony in this region or not?” We did not drag the matter out. We carried out our study and showed the areas where we had clearly identified antimony, approximately 1.6 kilometres from the existing production areas. The company began core drilling at the points we had indicated. The result? The antimony vein was reached exactly. In other words, a field on the verge of closure was revived through our determinations. Thereupon the company decided to continue production. In summary: We brought the mineral back to light in a place where it had been declared “finished.” And this shows that our work is not a last-minute affair, but a matter of being correct
We were introduced to one of the largest gold mining companies in our country at precisely the moment when things had come to a standstill. The company had for years carried out work with international geophysics firms, with support from some of Europe’s largest research companies. In the field where they said “there is gold here,” they had drilled approximately 40,000 metres at close to 90 different points, but the result? Failure. It was at exactly that point that they invited us to a meeting. Before I even went to the meeting, I said the following: “Send me the KMZ file containing the boundaries of all the licence areas you hold.” They sent it. And I sat down, carried out my preliminary study, marked the gold-bearing locations one by one, and printed it out. I even had 5 photocopies made. We went into the meeting. Everyone was at the table. I placed the maps in front of me and said, without beating about the bush: “You cannot have carried out your roughly 40,000 metres of drilling inside the areas I have marked on this paper.” The company official took the paper, looked at it, examined it… Then he raised his head and said: “Yes, that is correct. The areas where we drilled are the empty zones lying entirely outside the areas you have marked. I can see this clearly from the photocopy you gave us.” Then he turned to me and asked: “What are these marked areas on this paper?” And I said, quite plainly: “There is gold in these areas I have marked. And in the unmarked, empty areas, there is no gold.” At this he became even more curious. “All right,” he said, “do you know where area number 5 is located in the field?” My answer was very clear: “No, I do not. You sent me the field yesterday and I came to the meeting today. I do not know where the area physically is.” The man was left literally stunned. And then he said: “In this area number 5 that you have identified, another company made a discovery of 3 million ounces of gold and is currently in production.” He then added: “In the field where we, with support from Europe’s largest research companies and on the basis of geophysical studies, said ‘there is gold here’ and drilled close to 40,000 metres and failed, you said outright ‘there is no gold here.’ This is truly a very interesting piece of work.” At that moment the atmosphere at the table changed completely. And without any hesitation he gave the following instruction: “From now on, drilling will be carried out immediately and unconditionally in the areas this gentleman identifies and marks.” And turning to me, he said: “Start work right away.” And we started. We identified a new area in this region and notified the company of the drilling locations. The company completed the drilling permits in 1.5 years, and drilling has now begun. But the matter did not end there either. This time, in order to test us, the company placed an enormous area in front of us: A very large field in the Eastern Region, covering almost half of the Southeast and the whole of the Western Black Sea. They said: “Identify the gold-bearing locations in this area.” We carried out our determinations and shared them. Thereupon they came back to us and said: “We accept areas 5 and 6 as research areas. We have no knowledge of the other areas. We want you to draw the gold-bearing locations in these two areas with pinpoint accuracy.” And what did we do? Without even a day passing, we worked quickly and conveyed the results to the company. And the company came back immediately: “Mr. İbrahim, how did you find in two days the field that we, over 9 years of countless geophysical studies and with support from many firms, finally said ‘there is gold here’ and identified the gold through core drilling? What kind of technology are you using?” In other words, they deliberately put us to the test in fields that had already been discovered by known methods. And we passed that test decisively. At the point we have reached today: We are actively carrying out determinations in many of this company’s fields, we are directing the drilling plans, and what is where in the field now advances not by trial and error, but by direct and accurate determination. The difference in this business is this: We do not say “maybe.” We say “it is here, it is not there.” And the field confirms this exactly.
Another mining acquaintance who contacted us from the Şırnak region asked us to carry out a gold survey at his field. At that time we had already carried out serious and successful work relating to copper in nearby areas. We went out to the field and did not take the job lightly; we carried out two separate, clear studies, for both gold and copper. Do you know what answer we received when we shared our determinations with the company official? “But there is no copper in my field.” And what did we say? “All right, that may be. But go to the points where we identified copper anyway, take a hammer in your hand and walk carefully through those areas.” He received this with considerable surprise. Not content with that, he said the same thing once more: “But there is no copper in my field.” Then what happened? The field official went to the locations we had sent under our guidance. At the points we had given for gold, he found oxidized quartz fragments on the surface. But the real matter did not end there. This gentleman who said “there is no copper in my field” sent us both photographs and video of the copper that came out of the rocks he broke with a hammer at the points we had given for copper. And do you know what is more? There was no outcrop whatsoever at the surface. In other words, in a field where one looks with the naked eye and says “there is nothing,” a copper discovery was made through our determinations. This is a clear example of how we resolve a field that is invisible at the surface but reveals itself when read correctly. In short: We brought the mineral to light in a place where it was said “there is none.” And this shows that our work speaks not through words, but through results.
At the copper-lead-zinc field in Anamur, Mersin, the official responsible for the field specifically asked us to determine precisely the points where copper was concentrated. We carried out our study and sent pinpoint locations. And do you know what happened? They began excavating with an excavator at those coordinates we sent, and it was nothing ordinary — they made an extremely large, extremely high-quality copper discovery. In other words, we spoke not through words, but through results in the field. The locations we indicated did not come up empty; on the contrary, we brought the mineral out into the open. There is no joking in this business; if you know where to look for copper, this is the kind of result you get.
This time our field was in Şırnak, and we were asked outright to find coal. Coal samples were sent from areas near the field. Working with those samples, we studied the entire field area and clearly marked the coal-bearing points. Then what happened? The company began excavating with an excavator at two of the points we had marked. The result? Coal was discovered at both. And this did not remain a matter of words alone. The company that carried out the work sent us photographs and videos of the coal that was found. That is, the point was not to describe, but to prove. In short: We state the point, excavation is carried out in the field, and the result comes out exactly as stated. There is no room for guesswork in this business. Where there is correct determination, the result is inevitable.
A polymetallic field in Balıkesir… There is a company before you. They have carried out numerous boreholes. They have spent time. They have spent money. But the result? No mineral data at all. It was at exactly this point that we stepped in. We did not say “let us dig the entire field.” We never said “let us leave it to chance.” Do you know what we did? We selected licensed areas where drilling could be carried out directly and which would yield the fastest results. We made pinpoint determinations. We did not play with time. And we put 14 clear locations on the table. Core drilling was carried out at 10 of these locations. And the result? We intersected minerals of the polymetallic group. Clear. Indisputable. A result with substance in the field. So the point is not to drill a great deal. The point is to drill in the right place. We do not look at a map and sell hope. We go into the field and let the result speak.
Our work relating to mining does not end here; it goes on and on. In fact, let me state plainly that what I have described is not limited to this either. Whenever I have free time, whenever I find a moment, I work in particular on a global scale. Gold, precious metals, Rare Earth Elements… I sit down and look, I make determinations, I make markings. And the most interesting part of the matter begins here. In countries I have never visited, where I have never even set foot, the areas I identified and marked months — even years — ago come to coincide exactly with official discoveries over time. So this is not a matter of “coincidence” at all. It has happened many times over. Take China, for example. Across the whole of China, I marked 10 gold-bearing points. Months after these determinations, in Lioming Province — my determination number 10 — the Chinese government officially announced that it had made a gold discovery. In other words, my work was confirmed by studies that the Chinese state carried out entirely independently of me. That is not all. China again, gold again. This time my gold determination number 5 was in Hunla Province. Months, indeed years, passed; the Chinese government came out and announced that it had made a gold discovery in Hunla Province. What happened? The province I had identified was confirmed exactly. I continue. Again in China, this time I studied Rare Earth Elements. I marked a total of 6 separate points. One of them was in Yunan Province. Time passed, and the Chinese government announced to the press that it had made a Rare Earth Element discovery in Yunan Province. I went back and looked at my determinations; yes, one of the points I had marked was exactly there. This was another clear confirmation. And it is not only China. One of the Rare Earth Element determinations I made in America was in the State of Minnesota. Months later the news came through: “A Rare Earth Element discovery has been made in Minnesota.” Once again, the very area I had marked months earlier. Let us move on to Australia. In my study covering the whole of Australia, I identified 13 separate iron points. My determination point number 16 turned out, years later, to be the same area as the major iron discovery announced by the Australian government. When I compared my determinations with the information reported in the press, the overlap was exact. Now let me state this plainly: I did not go to these countries. I did not set foot in the field. I did not swing a pick. Yet months and years later, the official discoveries of states and giant companies come round, time and again, to the very points I had marked. So if there is anyone who still thinks this business is “luck,” “guesswork” or “interpretation,” I am afraid they are mistaken. This is a matter of being able to read. And the results come not by talking, but by proving themselves over time. Now let us place you, too, at the very centre of these success stories. We are setting aside all the examples and all the references we have described so far. Disregard them all. We are starting from scratch. But this time, in your fields, together with you, we are writing a brand-new success story. The first step is very clear: Share with us all the geophysical studies currently ongoing or planned in your field, the companies you are working with, and the core drilling points determined as a result of these studies. We ask for nothing else. We will put all of these points on the table. We will set out clearly and quickly which of them contain minerals and which do not. You are going to carry out these boreholes in any case. As the boreholes are completed, we will compare them one-to-one with our predictions. And you will see our determination capability very clearly with the first results, without waiting for months. And from that point on, leave the work to us. Where there are minerals in your fields and where there are not — let us determine that from now on. Let us go even further: tell us where in the world, in which country, and which mineral you want to find. Leave the rest to us. Let us find the location, let us select the area, let us initiate the licensing process and move directly to mineral discovery. In summary, what we are saying is this: We have finished describing. We are now at the stage of demonstrating. The ball is in your court — open up the field, and let us write the story together.
