LLC MR Invest, a VESCO Group company in Ukraine, won the auction for obtaining a special permit for subsoil use — the Irlyavska site, valid for 10 years. The electronic auction was conducted on the principles of transparency and fair competition. The cost of the special permit is UAH 10.001 million.
The Irlyavska site is located north of the village of Chabanivka in the Uzhhorod district of Zakarpattia region, Ukraine, and covers an area of 147.35 hectares. According to ceramic-technological studies, the main useful mineral is light-firing clay suitable for the production of ceramic facing materials.
“Our main focus remains on ceramic raw materials. We have significant experience in extracting and producing ceramic raw materials, as well as our own laboratory that develops tailor-made solutions according to customer needs. The situation in eastern Ukraine remains difficult, so the VESCO Group, as a key supplier of ceramic raw materials for local consumers, is actively exploring potential sites for business development in safe regions of the country,” said Yevhenii Tsymarman, Executive Director of the VESCO Group companies in Ukraine.
The acquired special permit grants the right to conduct geological exploration of the site, including pilot-industrial development of the deposit, approval of reserves by the State Commission of Ukraine (DKZ) under industrial categories, and subsequent extraction of clay for industrial use.
Obtaining the permit aligns with VESCO Group’s strategy to expand its product portfolio and scale its business locally.
