A consortium from Southeast Asia is willing to realise its
project for the exploitation of the reserves.

Sources
In Dedaj-Vig-Korth Pule exist 75% of the total found
reserves in Albania.
A European company is much interested to start their full
exploitation. It is known that these materials
serve the preparation of
the porcelain dough, the extraction of the aluminium hydroxide and,

Clay sources
Italian, Dalmatian and Slovakian companies have presented
projects to enable the exploitation of the delta clay basin Bushat
Zefjanë. Their factories will produce bricks, tiles, tubes but also the

Fluoride reserves reach the 50 000 tons.
During
