Mineral Resources
From the subterraneous resources point of view, Albania involves
quite a lot of assortments in terms of mineral variety.
Following a detailed and intensive development of Geologic Researches along
with the Mines Industry an evidence of great reserves exists and is
obtainable. The list includes minerals such: chrome, copper, iron nickel,
nickel, silicate, construction materials, decorative stones, bitumen sands
etc.
-
1.100 chrome locales are found in the ultra-alkaline rocks of Albania.
-
The copper industry comprises 36 reserves, 48 objects (small resources),
26 mines, 8 enriching fabrics, 2 melting - and 1 refinement. By use of
copper exploiting copper metal has been issued, which has been either
exported or processed into cable wire. A quantity has been used for gold
metal, silver, selenium, tellurium and pyrite concentration for vitriol.
So far the following have been discovered:
-
Calcareous evaluated equal to 130 million tons of granite and stone
reserves;
-
50 sources of decorative stones connected to carbon rocks;
-
More than 16 sources of decorative stones of magma category;
-
Above 30 calcareous resources, gypsum and anhydrites all over the
region. These resources do represent a huge business opportunity for
people in the area so to establish and initiate their own activities
related to decorative stones and materials as well as work as a raw
material supplier to small cement factories nearby. In this way the
region could further develop and could be able not only to meet the
local requests but also to consider the exporting opportunity. The
country could profit a lot of while undergoing a steady progression of
processes related to decorative stones and construction materials (such
as mining and processing). Following this trend, importing these
products from other countries (mostly neighboring regions) is
predetermined to fall apart, as a consequence employing more than 2000
workforce on a national scale.
The carbon-calcareous rocks up to now evaluated only for the artisan
production of lime and cement, are necessary to use for constructing
airports, extending railways, highways north-south, west- east as the only
material that completes the technical condition for such bases up to paving
streets, renouncing the paving with gravel of the rivers and rubble with
carbon materials. With the colossal reserves of basaltic materials we have
from north to south are completed not only the requests of the country, but
we add a new voice to export.
