After preliminary geological research, experts discovered a colossal salt layer, which starts from 35 to 500 meters. This will help to replace the temporarily closed state enterprise "Artemsil", which provided 100% of Ukraine's needs, but stopped work due to hostilities in the Donetsk region.
Currently, engineering work has already begun on the construction of an access road, marking of drilling sites, arrangement of places for workers, etc. Equipment for deep industrial drilling was also purchased.
"According to experts, in 6 months we will have the first mined salt. The deposit will be able to provide 100% of Ukraine's need for technical salt, which will be supplied for road maintenance in the winter period. Now the country's need for technical salt is up to 450 tons per season," says Mykyta.
In the future, they plan to launch the supply of table salt for the population.
