From Extraction to Delivery

  1. 01

    Geological Survey & Planning

    Our geologists conduct detailed surveys using satellite imaging and core sampling to identify the richest mineral deposits and plan extraction with minimal environmental impact.

  2. 02

    Extraction & Primary Crushing

    Using modern excavators and haul trucks, we extract raw ore and feed it through primary jaw crushers to reduce material to manageable sizes for further processing.

  3. 03

    Washing, Screening & Grading

    Crushed material passes through multi-stage washing plants and vibrating screens to remove impurities and classify minerals into precise size fractions meeting customer specifications.

  4. 04

    Quality Testing & Certification

    Every batch undergoes XRF analysis, sieve testing, and moisture checks in our on-site laboratory. Certificates of analysis accompany each shipment for full traceability.

  5. 05

    Packaging & Global Shipping

    Finished minerals are packed in jumbo bags, 50 kg sacks, or loaded in bulk containers and shipped from Egyptian Red Sea and Mediterranean ports to destinations worldwide.
