Deskripsi

A particular development is proposed to mine some good quality outcrops of granite found in a forest exploitation of eucalypts.The exploitation has been designed with a quarrying method, in which small open cast pits are opened and quarried sequentially,and later filled with the waste of the new open pit. Soil is finally used to cover this waste, so new growing tree areas are gained.
