Recommencing operations in the Cervenille quarry in Kosovo

Fox Marble, the AIM listed company focused on marble quarrying and processing in Kosovo and the Balkans region, is pleased to announce that it is recommencing operations in its Cervenille quarry in Kosovo.

The Cervenille quarry was originally developed and became operational in 2013 and was reopened last week due to increasing demand for material.  This quarry contains Grigio Argento (warm grey with gold veins) as well as Flora (grey red) and Rosso Cait (red) marble. 

Fox Marble has seen significant demand for Grigio Argento. This material has been used within high end projects such as the St Georges Homes project at Chelsea Creek in London and is currently being supplied to recently announced municipal projects at Suhareka and Podujeva in Kosovo.  The current range of orders that Fox Marble is fulfilling is utilising significant quantities of this material, and as such the Company has restarted operations at the quarry.  This will ensure sufficient stocks of block material for existing and future projects as well as the winter shut down of the quarry.

Chris Gilbert, CEO, commented:

"Through recent marketing efforts we have been seeing increasing demand for our Grigio Argento marble.  We have recommenced our operations in Cervenille to fulfil the appetite for this material. This will allow us to continue to service existing contracts for projects and allow us to continue to grow sales at the factory."

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014
