A Map of Natural Metal Traps
Gold and other heavy metals settle where the current slows. We score entire stream networks for that geometry, region by region.
- scored segments to date
- streams analysed to date
Slope breaks
Where a steep reach flattens, the current loses the energy that carried heavy grains. Gold drops before anything else.
Inside bends
Water runs fastest on the outside of a bend and slowest on the inside. The bar on the inside is where the heavy fraction settles.
Junctions
Where a tributary joins, the flow slows and spreads. The downstream side of the confluence keeps what both streams carried.
Bedrock constrictions
Where the valley narrows to rock, the bed is scoured to bedrock and every crack works as a riffle.

How the app works
The same tools in every region: read the terrain, open the catchment, check the score, mark what you find.
Carry it in your pocket
The same map, the same target list. A downloaded area opens in the valley even without a signal.

Why Türkiye
- Orogenic and epithermal gold belts from the Aegean to the Pontides.
- Placer country: steep, young drainages that sort heavy minerals fast.
- The first country the engine ran end to end — the proof behind every other page here.
Where we are
Live today. The map, scoring and field tools are in Turkish; an English interface is on the roadmap.
GOLDONGO is a terrain-screening tool. A score is not a promise of gold, and it is not a licence: check land status and follow local rules before you dig.
