Thanks to its good quality, bauxite extracted in Olmedo can be used in various fields, such as cements production, abrasives, refractories and other materials used in hydraulic rock fracture. At present, the resources of the field are close to seven and a half million tons, with probable reserves of four and a half million tons, of which two million and 800 thousand tons are extractable.
"From the analysis and the research- Regional Minister Maria Grazia Piras explained in a note - it emerged that the bauxite deposit is much larger than expected. We are in the presence of a site that could have a greater attractiveness for investors, in an economic situation that also sees the price of bauxite rising sharply. Therefore, there are all the conditions for the Olmedo mine to have a longer-lasting industrial and productive perspective, contributing to the economic and occupational development of the area ".
