New mines .
When we talk about mining, it is talking about coal . However, as strange as it may seem, coal barely accounts for 5% of Castilla y León's production. In the province of León in recent years, coal billing did not reach 14 million compared to the joint production of other types of minerals such as shale as the most important mineral and other resources such as gold, copper, uranium, zinc, talc, nickel or cobalt reaching up to 80 million in total.
Materials such as slate or iron are the future of the province. Stressing the opening of mines iron Coto Wagner and underground mine slate in Benuza with reserves estimated 3 million metric tons of ore, which will work over the next 100 years.
In addition to these projects, the investigation of lead and zinc in the areas of Toral de los Vados and Borrones is added , specifically the Australian mining company Europa Metals has been collecting samples for several years to be able to develop the project to be able to open in 2023, being able to generate an activity for the next 15 years. Other resources such as copper, nickel, cobalt and talc also appear, the latter being the one that offers multiple possibilities of exploitation around San Isidro.
In summary, all these projects and investigations are going to mark the new era of mining in the province of León, thus helping the development of mining basins and recovering the Emptied Spain that seriously affects our province.
