Venus Minerals has started diamond drilling in the Troodos, and this means that Cyprus will soon be able to take advantage of the rising demand for copper.
“Cyprus can play a large part in this market,” commented Peter van der Borgh, managing director of Venus Minerals, a Cyprus-based mining and exploration company in operation for 15 years.
“Based on diamond drilling in combination with today’s computing technologies, we’re able to model these resources quite precisely and do some fairly accurate estimations of what we believe the metal content is,” van den Borgh told the Cyprus Mail in an interview.
