Well done…Money….you just cracked the link between energy and mining…..
The latest Mining Statistics of Spain reveals that the Community has 483 active exploitations, which represent a business volume close to 363 million euros. 73.5% of the deposits are related to quarry products; 20.9% with ornamental rock; 3.3% with industrial minerals; 2.1% with energy and, finally, 0.2% are included in metal mining. To these numbers must be added the 26 mineral and thermal water exploitations, over which the Board exercises exclusive powers.
The data show the strategic importance of the sector for the economy of Castilla y León, both for its link with the endogenous resources of the territory and for its ability to stimulate and fix the population in rural areas. For this reason, it will be strengthened with the help of this strategy, which is aligned with the challenges set out in the Plan for the Economic Revitalization of Mining Municipalities and in the Master Plan for Industrial Promotion, and is consistent with the regulatory framework defined in the Europe 2020 Strategy.
The document outlines the guidelines of the economic policy around mineral resources based on five axes. The first deals with the Mining-Environmental Planning and aims to reinforce the visibility of projects susceptible to exploitation with improvements to the website to facilitate their search or management; intensifying participation in European cooperation programs to raise funds, or by holding a general mining congress, among other initiatives.
OBJECTIVES:
Promote the creation of wealth and employment around the sector, through 33 measures, among which those aimed at enhancing the regional geominero heritage and those aimed at facilitating the generation of business activity stand out.

Contribute to promoting the industrial productive fabric based on the valorization of the use of mineral resources, by supporting the modernization of its productive capacity aimed at improving competitiveness and with the consequent creation of employment.
