Bulgaria’s Government has granted Varna‑based Alfons 63 Ltd. a two‑year exploration permit for building material deposits in the Orlov Kamak–Golitsa area along the coastal region. As part of the licence terms, Alfons 63 commits to investing a minimum of 49,000 Bulgarian levs (approx. USD 28,600) into geological surveying and testing over the permit period.
Orlov Kamak, situated in eastern Bulgaria’s Varna region, is known for its abundant limestone and other non‑metallic minerals essential to the construction industry. The permit is designed to assess both the quality and quantity of extractable materials, requiring Alfons 63 to produce detailed reporting on geological structures, resource volumes, and environmental impact.
Industry analysts view this move as part of Bulgaria’s broader strategy to boost sustainable local sourcing and support the national construction boom. By fostering domestic exploration and reducing dependence on imports, the government aims to stabilize building‑material costs and reinforce supply resilience.
Looking ahead, completing this exploration could pave the way for mining concessions in the early 2030s, assuming the findings validate commercial viability. If successful, Alfons 63 could emerge as a key regional supplier of critical aggregates, supplying local infrastructure and real‑estate projects.
This initiative reflects a broader trend within Bulgaria to streamline mineral resource licensing and boost regulatory support for domestic extraction efforts.
