The deposit is located within the northwestern edge of the Ukrainian crystalline shield in the Korostensky (Luginsky) district of the Zhytomyr region. The area of the area for the exploration and mining is 63.2 hectares. The field has been explored up to +100 m in depth.
The field has been in development since 1960. The total volume of reserves is 46 million cubic meters of rock (protocol No. 4317 dated 09.29.1983).
The results of previous exploration work allow us to draw the following conclusions regarding the quality of the Zherevskoye mineral resource:
- Crushed stone made of porphyry granite from the Zherevskoye deposit meets the requirements of DSTU B V.2.7-75-98.
- Grade of crushed stone for abrasion - I-1, I-2 (group of highstrength KRZ).
- Grade of crushed stone for crushing - 1200-1400.
- Grade of crushed stone for frost resistance - F100.
- Crushing screenings meet the requirements s of DSTU B V.2.7- 210: 2010 and are suitable for road construction, landscaping, planning and other types of construction work.
- The mineral is characterized by low radioactivity and, according to DBN. B.1.4-1.01-97, belongs to the 1st class.
In 2022 “Granite Quarry” LLC was officially launched. It is one of the most innovative enterprises in Ukraine, specializing in the production of crushed stone products. The company was fully launched during the full-scale war, providing up to 200 jobs in the region. Approximate investments in exploration and launching the company’s capacities reach 22 million dollars.
Thanks to the complete reconstruction and modernization of the enterprise, the company launched the production of high-quality crushed stone products on new modern SANDVIK (Sweden) equipment with an annual capacity of more than 1.5 million tons of mining mass.
The company purchased a new fleet of equipment from leading manufacturers such as DOOSAN, LGMG (VOLVO GROUP), and HBXG (SHEHWA).
“Granite Quarry” LLC also has its railway infrastructure with an automated wagon loading system.
Currently, the company aims to strengthen industrial capacity to increase the production of Ukrainian crushed stone and domestic stone, which our partners already use to restore Ukrainian infrastructure.
