The State Property Committee of Belarus has recently announced a tender for choosing an investor for the industrial exploitation of the chalk field “Podkamenye” located in the Vetka region, Gomel oblast, Belarus.

 

The chalk field will be used to build a new Belarusian Cement Mill with accompanying engineering, transport and social infrastructure. The new enterprise is supposed to be able to turn out up to two million tons of cement per annum using dry methods.

 

The tender will be held in Minsk on March 12, 2008. The tender is supposed to name the investor, which has the necessary financial, human and technological resources for the industrial exploitation of the chalk field and the construction of the cement mill. The investor is supposed to present the best investment proposals concerning the planned investments and the time required for the implementation of the investment project. The winner of the tender will have to carry out detail exploration, follow-up exploration, and the exploitation of the chalk field “Podkamenye”, exploration and development of raw clay fields and to build the enterprise and the accompanying facilities.
