 The Economic Geology Section covers a broad range of activities relating to the development and management of the mineral resources of Cyprus (metallic and industrial minerals). These activities are conducted on the basis of rational criteria and within a balanced and acceptable environmental framework. In addition, the Section designs and carries out specialised research programmes such as the development of a new methodology for the exploration of cupriferous mineralization, the possible effects of sulphide minerals (present in aggregates) to concrete and the risk assessment from the presence of the asbestos mine in the Troodos region and the creation of new quarry zone in Pafos District.
