Germanium and Gallium
Northern Greece, particularly the regions of Eastern Macedonia-Thrace and Central Greece, has the highest concentration of mining and mineral processing activity, hosting the majority of mining and quarrying operations.
In Central Macedonia (which, along with Western and Central Greece, holds 90% of energy mineral mines), 50% of non-energy mineral extraction takes place, while the South Aegean region hosts 22% of industrial mineral quarries.
Some areas are of particular interest to investors. For example, Metlen’s €300 million investment positions Greece as a key gallium producer, while the Molaoi Project by **Australia’s Rockfire** holds one of the world’s 20 largest undeveloped zinc deposits, with confirmed copper and germanium reserves. Germanium, along with gallium, is essential for microchip production and is also widely used in aerospace, defense, energy, and other high-tech applications.
