BAMIR Mining started its activities in the sector as of 2021.In this context, the first investment project was realized on Marmara Island.
Marmara Island is the largest of the Marmara Islands, located in the southwest of the Sea of Marmara and connected to Balıkesir. It has hosted the oldest marble quarries in the world and this feature has therefore been the origin of the word marble in many languages.
Marmara marble has been used in buildings that are important in both world and Turkish history. It is possible to see it in many Ottoman palaces, Masjid-i Aksa, Ephesus and Troy civilizations, Roman and Byzantine buildings and many historical buildings. On the other hand, Marmara marble, which is resistant to rain, sun, cold and heat, is frequently used outdoors thanks to this feature.
