“Sun Craft” has entered the planned work schedule at a new project at the Tomashgorodske amber deposit

“Sun Craft” LLC (TM AmberTrade) has entered the planned mode of work at a new amber mining project at the Tomashgorod deposit in Rivne region, which will increase the total volume of existing production by 2.5 times.

“Thanks to the new deposit, my partners and I plan to legally mine 20-25 tons of amber per year. This, in turn, will provide jobs for more than 100 employees and income for their families. Our goal is to compete with Russians in the amber market of China, which is the largest consumer of amber“, – said Igor Mazepa, one of the shareholders of “Sun Craft” LLC.

The environmental component is very important in the extraction process. At the quarry in Volodymyrets, also in Rivne region, where the previous project was implemented, land reclamation was carried out, covering 60 hectares with the planting of more than 400 thousand seedlings.

“After the adoption of the relevant law initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Rivne region has embarked on the path to full legalization of amber mining, and there can be no compromises on this issue,” said Oleksandr Koval, head of the Rivne Regional Military Administration, during a visit to the new deposit.

According to Oleksandr Kokhan, deputy head of the Rivne Regional Military Administration, who was also present at the opening of the new deposit, the increase in amber production by Sun Craft LLC while meeting all the necessary environmental conditions will help Ukraine to generate foreign currency earnings and fill local budgets.

“It is important that the company not only legally mines stones but also cares about the environment. Land reclamation and planting of seedlings is a mandatory part of the work for “Sun Craft”Kohan noted.

We continue to actively fight for a transparent, legal and environmentally friendly Ukrainian amber market, demonstrating by our own example that it is possible.
