The General Mining and Metallurgical Company SA (), better known as LARCO (ΛΑΡΚΟ), was a ferro-nickel production company in Greece. It had mines in the regions of Euboea, Neo Kokkino, Kastoria and Servia. The company also had a metallurgical plant in Larymna, which employed the majority of the company's employees.
The ore exploited by the company was the nickel-rich limonite. The deposits exploited by the company underwent open pit mining, although 2% were mined underground. The final result was a granular, high purity, low carbon carbon ferric, which is used exclusively in the production of stainless steel and was transported from the port of Larymna.
