Gleaned this from the internet after seeing that picture of WHI in an existing mine in Spain….
“ Project in Cordoba and Granada
In the province of Córdoba, in Fuente Obejuna, the company Minas de Tin de España plans to exploit the Oropesa deposit, a world-class deposit in its category. The initiative projected by the firm contemplates a transfer mining of an elongated open pit that will be restored simultaneously and with a high environmental integration. It also includes a tin concentration plant that will increase the use of that mineral. To execute it, the company has estimated an investment of 65 million, which will entail 714 jobs.
On the other hand, in the Granada municipality of Alquife, the Minas de Alquife company will start up the old Marquesado mine, exploited until the end of the last century to obtain iron ore and from which the first exploitation works have already begun. The extraction will be carried out in the open, from the existing cuts and the use of treatment residues that the previous owners did not exploit. For its implementation, 200 million will be allocated, which will lead to the creation of 1,407 jobs. In addition to the socioeconomic impact, the environmental rehabilitation actions of a degraded historical mining environment are valued in this proposal.
Quick and efficient processing
The activity of the Accelerator Unit is aimed at favoring that the investment projects that generate wealth and employment for Andalusia can be processed before the administrations with agility and efficiency. Its scope of action includes those strategic proposals that, due to their importance or nature, contribute to the achievement of the objectives contained in article 10 of the Statute of Autonomy for Andalusia. These refer to the achievement of stable and quality employment in all production sectors and the use and enhancement of natural and economic resources under the principle of sustainability, as well as industrial and technological development based on innovation.
This body, dependent on the Ministry of the Presidency, Public Administration and the Interior, will provide assistance and advice to the people or entities promoting the projects on all the necessary procedures for the effective start-up and execution of the project. Likewise, it will coordinate with the different ministries and instrumental entities with powers over the procedures that affect investment initiatives, as well as with the corresponding local administrations.
To date, the Project Accelerator Unit processes almost fifty initiatives that bring together more than 80 relevant projects for Andalusia and that add up to an investment of 8,387.43 million and represent the generation of 32,533 jobs.”
