Qatar Primary Materials Company’s (QPMC) quarry sourcing project in Oman has entered its final phase, the company’s chairman was quoted as saying in a media report.

The first phase of the project will produce about three million tonnes of gabbro in the first eight months and then gradually will increase to seven million tonnes  a year, Dr Saad bin Ahmed Al Muhannadi was quoted by The Peninsula.
