(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 24 FEB - The company Miedzi Copper
Corporation has discovered large deposits of silver and copper
worth 56 billion euro in western Poland, the Polish public radio
reported, quoting local media.
The deposits, which lie almost two kilometres underground,
could contribute over PLN 1 billion (around 232 million euro) to
the state budget every year and their development could lead to
the creation of 8,600 jobs, said Stanislaw Speczik, the Ceo of
the company, which is planning to start building a mine in the
area in 2024-25. However, the development of the mines may be
difficult as natural resources are the property of the state
under Polish law, the TVN24 broadcaster reported. (ANSA).
