About Rathdowney and Project Olza

Rathdowney Resources Ltd. is focused on advancing Project Olza through permitting and into production. Project Olza is located in the Upper Silesian Mining District of southwestern Poland, a world-class region in size of Mississippi Valley-type deposits with well-developed mining infrastructure.  Easily accessible by paved roads, the Olza project site is a one-hour drive from Krakow, a major city with full services, including an international airport.  The deposits at Olza are 25 km from the ZGH zinc smelter at Boleslaw. A railway line runs through the Olza project-area, linking it to the ZGHB smelter and to ports on the Baltic Sea, with access to smelters in the rest of Europe. 

Rathdowney is committed to responsible mineral exploration and development as presented through our local Project Olza community team, which provide updates on activities and potential opportunities to local communities, and governments at all levels.
