    • The nearest railway station Ignatpil is 8 km away to the northwest. The asphalted Korosten-Narodichi highway runs 2 km north of the deposit.

  • Stones of the deposit

    • Granite grayish-pink, pink, pink-red in color with unevenly grainy (medium to coarse-grained) texture and massive texture. Granite is distinguished by the homogeneity of structural and textural features and the almost complete absence of other varieties. The main background is created by pink feldspars in the form of individual grains 2-5 mm in size and large oval ovoids. Against this backdrop stand out separate plate crystals of feldspar in white, grayish-white colors. The color scheme is supplemented by black, greenish-black grains of dark colored minerals up to 5-10 mm in size. The texture of the granites is massive.

    • Reserves and Resource as of 01.01.2018.

      • Total = 1287.436 thousand m3, including category Probable – 977.426 thousand m3. Measured Mineral Resources – 310.01 thousand m3.
