Limestone

Egyptian limestone, primarily extracted from quarries in Minya Governorate, the Nile Valley, and the Sinai Peninsula, is internationally recognized for its exceptional quality, high calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) content—up to 99.63%—and brightness, with whiteness levels reaching 96.2%. This makes it a highly sought-after material across various industries.

Widely used in construction, cement production, and infrastructure projects, Egyptian limestone is exported to major markets such as the United States, China, and India. Its durability, purity, and versatility make it ideal for both structural and industrial applications.

Gold Stone (GS) supplies and exports limestone in a range of sizes—from fine micronized powder to larger lumps—tailored to client requirements. With a growing emphasis on sustainable mining, GS is committed to responsible sourcing practices that meet international environmental standards.

Calcium carbonate derived from Egyptian limestone serves numerous sectors, including plastics, paints, paper, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, further underscoring its industrial significance.
