Iktinos received approval from the decentralized administration of Macedonia Thrace for the lease, by direct contract, of a public area of 99,403 sq.m. for the underground exploitation of a marble quarry in the Leptokaries Volakas area of the Municipality of Kato Nevrokopi in Drama.

As the listed marble industry emphasized, this new exploitation of the underground quarry will increase by 20% the production of Volakas dolomite marble, which constitutes 70% of the company’s production. It is noted that over 100 people are already employed in the quarry and after the development, the staff is expected to increase further. In July 2023, the relevant technical study was approved by the General Directorate of Mineral Raw Materials of the Ministry of Environment and Energy.
