Molding sand as a mineral

Ukraine fully meets the needs of its metallurgical and machine-building industries in molding sand, and also exports it to a number of countries.

Formation sand deposits and promising objects are localized in the Cretaceous, Paleogene-Neogene and Quaternary sediments of the Donetsk folded region, the Dnieper-Donetsk and Black Sea depressions, the Volyn-Podilskyi plate and the Ukrainian crystalline shield.

The state balance of mineral reserves of Ukraine includes 14 deposits (Husarivske, Chasiv-Yarsk, Bantyshivske, and others) and 6 accounting objects in which the reserves of molding sand are approved as associated minerals. 4 deposits and 6 accounting objects are being developed.

To increase the mineral and raw material base of molding sands, it is planned to conduct geological exploration work on molding sands within the promising areas of the Dnieper-Donetsk Depression, the Donetsk Fold Region, the Volyn-Podilsky Plate, and the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield.
