Europe is not a major producer of metals, compared to the other continents. However the continent is home to some of the world’s largest mining companies. Anglo American, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are three examples.

Base metals and gold are produced in Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Sweden and Finland. Cyprus is well known for its base metal deposits on Troodos. Turkey has great potential for base metal and gold deposits; and is an established chromite producer. Coal is a major European product with Germany and Poland being major producers.
