Saxony Minerals & Exploration AG – SME AG is a privately owned stock company that obtained the mining rights and permit to extract the mineral resources tungsten, tin, indium, and other metals.
| The historic development and exploration from 1957 – 1988 in this area: | |
|---|---|
| Number of drillings (surface): | 438 |
| Drillings (km): | 113 |
| Cuttings (sqm): | 1,916 |
The company intends to focus in the first stage, after finishing the exploratory shaft, on the opening of the tungsten-fluoride deposits in zone 5 and 4.
In connection, the mining and the processing of the tungsten ore and the mining of the tin in zone 3 will follow.
| Degradable reserves: | |
|---|---|
| Lager 4: |
5.959.360 t Wolframore |
| Lager 5: |
554.400 t Wolframore |
| Lager 3: |
8.113.600 t Tinore |
|
Wolframore contains fluorspar; Tinore contains zinc, copper and indium. |
