Primary Evidence

"Oreko Mining, Turkey Sounds good, but it's still music of the future: Mining rights for zinc, lead, copper, chrome, and barite quartz. Regarding the 24 Turkish mining licenses listed on the Berggruen homepage, which were acquired in 2007, Bloomberg Businessweek does not yet list any business economic data in their Metals and Mining category. However, it is possible that Berggruen has struck a real "gold vein." The mineral crystal called barite is experiencing strong demand as an important additive in fracking. When liquefied and pumped into the drill holes, this substance breaks up the deep rock layers."
