Transfer of Madlen Deposit Concession to Riolitis to Bring Significant Support to Bulgaria’s Construction Industry: Overview and Plans
Bulgaria’s construction industry is set to receive a significant boost with the transfer of the Madlen deposit concession to Riolitis from Euroslag, approved by the Ministry of Energy. With an estimated reserve of 2.63 million tonnes of marl and 1.75 million tonnes of limestone, this deposit holds potential for the industry, providing a stable supply of high-quality raw materials for construction products. The development of the deposit aims to generate employment opportunities, support local producers, benefitting the local economy, and reducing the industry’s dependence on imports. However, the transfer has also met with opposition from environmental organizations and local communities concerned about the potential environmental impact.
