The deposit area is 54.9 ha. The total leased land area is 88.09 ha, comprising 7 land plots. The mining allotment for block stone extraction is 15.92 ha, while the allotment for stone extraction for crushed stone production is 33.28 ha. The land lease agreements are valid until 2036.
The special subsoil use permit for extraction is valid until 2036. The permit covers two separate areas: one for the extraction of block stone, Cardinal Grey GG4, and the other for the extraction of rubble stone for crushed stone production.
As of 2024, balance reserves amount to 15.762 million m³, including 3.176 million m³ suitable for block stone, categories A + B, and 12.586 million m³ suitable for crushed stone, categories A + B + C1.
In addition, conditionally balance reserves under category C1 include an additional 2.69 million m³ in the block stone section and 1.074 million m³ in the crushed stone section. Further reserve growth is also possible along the quarry floor. Only approximately 24% of the original reserves have been depleted since 1975.
The crushed stone product range, according to certificates, includes the following fractions: 0–5, 5–10, 10–20, 5–20, 20–40, 40–70, as well as mixtures C-11, C-7 and C-5. The product has a compressive strength grade of M1200, density of 2.7 t/m³, first radioactivity class, abrasion grade St.1, impact resistance grade U-75, and average flakiness of 15%. The quarry has an operating laboratory equipped with the necessary equipment.
The block stone raw material is represented by Zhezhelivskyi granite, which is predominantly dark grey, medium-grained, and contains garnet-coloured inclusions. The granite has a strength grade of M1200–M1400, first radioactivity class, is well suited for polishing and is easy to process. Its mineral composition is as follows: potassium feldspar — 20%, plagioclase — 30–35%, quartz — 23%, biotite — 15–25%, other minerals — 2–7%. The quarry’s main product is granite blocks with a volume of up to 4 m³. In addition to blocks, there is also potential to produce granite slabs for further processing.
The company employs 24 people, including 8 engineering and technical specialists and 16 other staff members. Current operations are carried out in one shift.
The nominal annual capacity of the crushed stone production line is 1,100,000 tonnes per year.
The actual hourly processing capacity is 280–340 tonnes per hour, depending on the operating mode.
The crushing process consists of four stages:
- Receiving hopper of 60 m³ with apron feeder and SMD-111 jaw crusher;
- Metso GP300s secondary cone crusher + CVB 2060 screen, 3 decks;
- Mobile crushing complex with Sandvik CH-440 cone crusher + screen, 2 decks + screen, 3 decks;
- Independent line with Metso HP-100 cone crusher + screen, 3 decks.
A major production modernization was carried out in the summer of 2024. The crushing and screening complex was automated based on SCADA software with a central control panel. Each element of the plant is equipped with the relevant indication, protection and measuring devices to minimize the human factor.
The production line is fully equipped with machinery, including two loaders, CAT and VOLVO, a Liebherr excavator, two BelAZ trucks with a 45-tonne capacity, two BelAZ trucks with a 30-tonne capacity, a KrAZ truck, three cranes, including two KS truck-mounted cranes and one RDK crane, a fuel tanker and other equipment. The site also has a licensed 10 m³ fuel tank, a garage with repair bays, and two Skoda passenger cars.
In addition to the crushing and screening line, the quarry site includes a complex of workshops for sawing and polishing slabs from the block stone quarry. All premises are equipped with overhead travelling cranes, bridge cranes and electric hoists.
The site also includes an operator room, staff facilities, administrative building, checkpoint, warehouse, turning workshop, compressor station, pumping station and garage. The total area of all buildings exceeds 4,000 m².
There is a railway loading unit equipped with a ramp, two receiving hoppers and a conveyor loading system with the capacity to service 10–20 railcars.
