VSK MINING - Ložisko gemerská Poloma

Actual state of the project - updated 21.9.2009!!!

Continually with the achievement of tunnels endpoint, I. phase of underground exploration of talcum bearing deposit has been launched. In  I. stage of the survey works about 300 m of mining exploration works were punched and 1300 m of small wells  drilled at the core of the underground.

 By perforated exploratory mining works the talc bearing was stroked  and physically verified the location of pure talc of high quality, well-implemented, each one of the exploratory wells were positive regarding the content of talc. The aim of the exploratory work is further verification and specification of the spatial distribution of industrial raw materials in the bearing bodies, contouring of the bearing borders, as well as defining the parts of the deposit, which will be mined as first. 

Completion of the I. stage of exploration works and its evaluation is expected in October 2009. In parallel with the realization of the exploratory work the preparation for realizing of the air shaft -ventilation chimney is running that will also perform the function of the second exit of the mine, of which implementation is planned to begin at the turn of 2009/2010.
