Our deposits spread across four privately-owned mines (quarries), which are located in the vicinity of the plant. Geohellas has obtained the full and final mining permits for all its deposits. Geological mapping of these mines is already completed and proven reserves amount to over 20 million tons of a sedimentary, high quality, attapulgite – saponite deposit. By matching the special characteristics of our minerals to the market’s different needs we develop products that satisfy the requirements of each individual application.
Mines
Mining takes place at open pits in complete agreement with the technical and environmental demands of the legislation. The mined clay is locally sun dried, reducing therefore fuel consumption during processing and making the procedure more environmentally friendly. As the mining works progress, restoration is carried out, in order to minimize the environmental impact of our activities.
