MINERAL AND ORE DEPOSITS

А/ Ores Currently, there isn’t any information about industrial ore extraction.
	B/ Non-metallic minerals In the Municipality of Kardzhali there are considerable amounts of non-metallic mineral deposits, such as: bentonite, zeolite, trass, feldspar, mica, limestone, sand, gravel etc. The only bentonite, perlite and zeolite processing company in the country is built in the Municipality of Kardzhali and it is “Bentonit” AD.
It completely satisfies the needs of the whole country and a great part of the production is even being exported to Central European countries and CIS. The correlation between bentonite and perlite processing is equal to 8:2, where the zeolite processing is insignificant.
	As the shipping on Danube has been stopped, the result that followed was – decrease in export, because the transport expenditures concerning the other kinds of transport are significant. Decrease of bentonite and perlite usage can be noticed on the national market, which is a result of the decrease in the production of the major consumers: geological studies, glass processing and medicines.
The mineral resources can be used because they are not at a great depth and also there are techniques and technologies that can help in the process of extraction. The only weakness is the absence of a market for these mineral resources.
