dc.description.abstractGold has been treasured since ancient time for its beauty, purity, power, valuable asset and investment, accomplishment, and many more. However, gold also appeared in the last quarter of 20 th century as a basic metal due to its superior electrical conductivity, resistance to corrosion and required combinations of physical and chemical properties. Turkey has many gold deposits, which generally occurred in Late Mesozoic and Tertiary formations, and related to Mesozoic and Cenozoic volcano plutonic acts. However, the most economic porphyry, epithermal including both low and high sulphidation systems, volcanic associated massive sulphide gold deposits are abundantly found. Orogenic, placer and skarn host gold deposits are relatively less significant in terms of their abundance and reserve/resource sizes. Gold is embedded in Turkish life and plays a significant and innovative role in Turkey’s economy. Gold production has increased almost every year since 2001, rising from 1.4 tons to 45 tons in 2021. However, gold consumption does not meet gold production. Because Turkey is the fifth largest gold consumer in the world. The gold consumption is about 6 % of global demand. The review currently outlines a focus on geological and mining characteristics of gold deposits and features of gold such as its use, import, export and price.
