Zhadkivsky granite deposit

• Name of the deposit:

  Zhadkivsky granite deposit

• The name of the stone is petrographic, own, trade.

Petrographic – granite;
Own – “granite of Zhadkivsky deposit”;
Trademark – «Rosa Raveno» (GR21)

• Quarry owner

In 2010, for the purpose of geological exploration, including the experimental and industrial development of the Zhadkiv granite deposit, the NadraBud Limited Liability Company was granted a Special Permit for the Use of Subsoil No. 3732 from 21.01.2010 up to 21.01.2015.
The company discovered new granite, carried out trial production, registered its own trademark on this stone, and Zhadkivsky granite appeared on the market.
Now the deposit is not being developed. The State Geology and Subsoil Service of Ukraine (Derzhgeonadra of Ukraine) has all the rights.

• Geographical location

The deposit is located in Korets district of Rivne region 2 km south of the village Zhadkivka. The area of the deposit is 2.50 ha.
