In the sandy field of the ardard farm, studies were carried out which further took into account the active consumption of the filler sand and the building sand, corrected and specified the spatial shapes and the sheep of the spare blocks associated with the mountain allocation of the sandy pasture of the ardflat alu and calculated the quantities of the remaining blocks. The Osaühing Eesti Killustik is to optimise the extraction of the stock present in the deposit before the site is restored. The Association hereby requests that the Estonian fragmentation of the existing mining permit L.MK/329738 BE amended so as to extend the mining allocation to its catchment area, including blocks 1 and 2 of the extended mineral reserves during the geological exploration, as well as blocks 3, 4 and 5 of the active consumable reserve.
