In 2004, the N&N group, based in Italy, started a  fluorite exploratory survey of the old mines in Chiprovtzi, Bulgaria searching for fluorspar ore.

In 2006 cultivation of the mines was started and a new flotation plant for the processing of fluorite concentrate was built near the mines.

Specialized press has been very interested during the whole project. Several articles were written about us, some of them containing in-depth analysis of the technology we employ in the mine and the flotation process. Both of them are new for Bulgaria.nnnn

N&N employs over 100 workers from the nearby city of Chiprovtzi and Jelezna. These are former miners and engineers that worked for the old mining corporation. A lot of expertise was thus saved from oblivion.

N&N currently produces some excellent acid grade fluorspar with no traces of hazardous contaminants like arsenic or phosphates. This high standard and the fact that the mine is located in Europe translates to an economical and practical advantage over other competitors. We also have other products.
