A curable, two-component mortar composition is described, which is based on a curable epoxide resin, at least one reactive diluent for the epoxide resin, an amine curing agent and one or more inorganic fillers, as well as, optionally, curing catalysts, rheological aids, thixotropizing agents, stabilizers, dispersants, agents to control the reaction rate and wetting agents, the amine curing agent of the curable epoxide resin and the reactive diluent being kept separate from one another to inhibit any reaction, wherein the mortar composition contains a cross-linking reactive diluent, which has functional epoxy groups with an epoxy functionality of at least 2. The mortar composition is used to fasten anchoring means in boreholes.
