The General Mining and Metallurgical Company SA ( ), better known as LARCO (ΛΑΡΚΟ), was a ferro-nickel production company in Greece.

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 ferric, which is used exclusively in the production of stainless steel and was transported from the port of Larymna.
