Our Operations in Action

Expanding the Eastern Desert Frontier

In 2023, Manest Minerals opened two new quarry sites in Egypt's Eastern Desert, unlocking access to high-grade calcium carbonate reserves estimated at 50 million tonnes — securing supply for the next three decades.

Powering Europe's Construction Boom

A landmark multi-year supply agreement with three of Europe's largest cement manufacturers positions Manest as a critical link in the continent's infrastructure pipeline, delivering 800,000 tonnes annually.

Zero-Waste Processing Initiative

Our Ain Sokhna processing facility achieved zero-waste certification in 2024, converting 100% of by-products into secondary materials for road construction and agricultural soil enhancement.

From Earth to Enterprise

  1. 01

    Geological Survey & Exploration

    Our geologists deploy satellite imaging, core drilling, and geochemical sampling to identify and map high-value mineral deposits across Egypt's terrain.

  2. 02

    Precision Extraction

    Controlled blasting and GPS-guided excavation equipment extract raw material with surgical accuracy, maximising ore recovery while minimising overburden waste.

  3. 03

    Processing & Refinement

    Multi-stage crushing, milling, and classification lines transform raw ore into graded mineral products meeting exact customer specifications for purity and particle size.

  4. 04

    Quality Testing & Certification

    Every batch undergoes rigorous laboratory analysis — XRF, XRD, and laser diffraction — with certificates of analysis issued before shipment clearance.

  5. 05

    Global Shipping & Delivery

    Bulk and containerised shipments move through Egypt's Red Sea and Mediterranean ports, reaching customers across Europe, Asia, and Africa within guaranteed lead times.
