1 | In Focus: Land Reclamation We are committed to rehabilitate old deposit areas of previous operators (before we acquired the Kassandra Mines) and currently we reclaim areas in Stratoni and Olympias. The Olympias rehabilitation project is one of the largest environmental rehabilitation projects in Greece, through which we remove old tailings, waste rock and polluted soil, restore the original relief, improve soil health and revegetate areas.
