Çöpler is a village in the İliç District of Erzincan Province in Turkey.[1] The village is populated by Kurds of the Şikakî tribe and had a population of 289 in 2022.[2] [3]
In 1999, a gold-silver-copper ore deposit was explored near the village. The Çöpler mine started production of gold in 2010. Mining accidents occurred in June 2022 when a leak in the cyanide pipeline polluted the environment, and in February 2024 when a large mass (estimated at 10 million cubic metres) of heap leach material slid down into the valley, and nine miners were trapped under the landslide.
