The Mining and Extraction Municipal Enterprise “Volynpryrodresurs” of the Volyn Regional Council was established in 2016 with the purpose of exploring and developing mineral deposits in Volyn Region, such as amber, peat, and copper.
Our goal is responsible and legal extraction to contribute to the budgets of the Volyn Regional Council, local territorial communities, and the state. We aim to actively promote the social and economic development of local communities, particularly by creating jobs, paying royalties, and personal income tax.
The enterprise’s activities take into account ecological, social, and economic aspects. We adhere to principles of transparent reporting, conduct ongoing environmental monitoring of our activities, and carry out reclamation of worked-out areas.
