Evia Mine - Setting the foundations for electrification
Evia Mine - Setting the foundations for electrification
On the island of Evia, Greece, we own mining rights of one of the purest magnesite deposits on the entire planet; the renowned “Agia Triti” mining concession, which above ground, is a place of exceptional natural beauty and of relatively untouched flora and fauna habitats.
After years of geological mapping, geotechnical investigation, laser scanner surveying works, and core drilling exploration, we recently started the Koutzi UG mine: a green, small scale, surgical, underground mine with narrow vein mining techniques for the extraction of high-quality raw magnesite.
Our Koutzi UG mine is operated by electric and battery powered equipment for an immaculate “green” performance. In addition, remote control mechanical excavation of ore & waste eliminates the use of explosives' resulting in favorable ventilation conditions and a safer, healthier work environment for our miners!
The mine’s annual production capacity is 50,000 MT RoM out of an estimated 11 million MT of reserves. That means at least one hundred years of top-quality magnesite flow, guaranteed. It also points to a champion of sustainability and environmental responsibility - Grecian Magnesite at its best!
