Right at the geographical centre of Turkey sits the industrial town of Kayseri (called after Caesar Augustus as it happens). It is 120 kilometres north of Kayseri that the principal project of Canadian mining junior Aldridge Minerals can be found. The polymetallic Yenipazar project occupies a ten square kilometre site on a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) body that hosts a gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc mineral deposit.
