Cold water jug for the booming mining sector in Salamanca by Europe. Society authorities are not currently thinking about any boycott project in the list of those that are a strategy, which has a double participation: it is left from the distribution of 22500 million euros, and most importantly, the advantage of the ability to benefit from reducing the final appointments to obtain permits from the usual ten years to less than two and a half years.
This decision affects the projects that are already ongoing and successful, such as the Wolframio de Barruecoparto mine, more than those who are still under development after investigation and finding urine. It has a special impact on uranium mining projects, as Niguno has not been chosen all over Europe.
After submitting to the call more than 170 projects in various countries, the committee published the list of the first 47 which it considers priority in promoting national strategic capabilities in the field of raw materials, which in turn will enhance the value chain for European crude materials and diversify supply sources.
This action is framed in decisions taken by the European authorities to ensure the independence of technological metal supplies, which are the “rare land” that has been armed, before the competition scenario and instability. The European Union aspires to produce 10 % of the needs of these raw materials internally by 2030.
47 new strategic projects are located in thirteen member countries, including Spain, and coverage of extracting or recycled activities. Strategic projects cover 14 of 17 strategic raw materials listed in the basic raw materials law: the list includes cobalt, tantalio, magnesium, luomumium, vanadium, Indian, nebium, lithium or rare land, but from the topics mentioned in the community list, only four are extracted in Europe.
Map of strategic projects chosen by Europe.
In the case of Spain, Europe has chosen projects from the “competition” of Salamanca: proposals for extraction, lithium in Cáceses (Li -Iberia in Las Navas del Caneeraral, nickel and cobalt in Baduz (Badsara), in Monestero), Tongstin on insults, between the towns of Santa Amaliz (Bad Alp.). (Cáces);
Among them, there are possibilities for progress in the province, especially lithium, but none of the projects in the treasury, with research permits, deserves the attention of the European authorities. This does not mean that it has not been done, but they will be outside an important European umbrella for money and help in processing.
Lithium success
Lithium is a strategy for its application in the manufacture of batteries for electric cars and electronic devices, in addition to storing the energy produced with renewable sources. Thus it is one of the most required minerals.
In recent years, the research has been declared in what could be Wonderful Lithium site Between the south of the province and the fracture; In May of last year, the Board of Directors granted a resource research permit in Section C, Lithium, Tin and Wolframio, which is called “Salvaleón” and is on its way between Cáiesres and Salamanca provinces.

Specifically, the site covers the municipal terms of Valverde Del Fresno, Eljas and San Martín de Trevejo (Cáces), El Payo and NavasFrías, in Saalasanca, and they also have permits from the Extremadura Council.
The last great discovery was in Villarubias depositAs an Australian company found high -quality lithium reefs in the first studies to exploit a site for this mineral. The discovery opens the doors of exploitation, which the mining company considered success.
Berkeley, lithium and uranium
In addition, Berkeley recently joined the race for each lithium, which in January announces the emergence of a site for this substance in Ooro sources, as well as large amounts of these minerals and propydium. This caused the Australian Mining Company’s actions strongly to 29 %.
The mining company maintains an underlying lawsuit with Spain because it has denied exploitation and construction permits for the uranium mine in Rittello, the province of Salamana. Berkeley threatened to order even One billion euros of compensation He insists on the project, at the present time, without success. Europe does not support uranium extraction, as it reaffirms Spain’s position.
Thus, the company is one of the most affected decisions of the last decision of Europe and has already started noting this. The committee left the extraction of uranium from strategic projects, which is not a single project recognized as a strategic throughout Europe. It was translated into a 21 % decrease in Berkeley shares.
