Beyond the research and search for deposits of different minerals in the province of Salamanca, mining projects underway for more than a decade last December gave their first fruits with the recovery of tungsten production in the municipality from Barruecopardo.
A production that was active during the last century, although the operation closed its doors in 1982, ending 82 years of exploitation in which this mine was one of the most important producers of this mineral at European level.
The Barruecopardo mining project is promoted and developed by the Saloro company, which currently employs 160 people directly, including about 40 residents of Barruecopardo, in addition to a good number of them from the neighboring municipalities of Aldeadávila de La Ribera, Vilvestre, Bermellar, Saldeana, Lumbrales and San Felices.
Similarly, the use of the tungsten deposit of Barruecopardo has created a good number of indirect jobs for different companies and companies that offer their services to mining.
The mine was active from 1900 to 1982, being one of the main producers at European level
The tungsten mine was launched in March of last year, reaching its full performance throughout this 2020, a project that started more than a decade ago with the completion of the work and field studies made possible in November 2014 Obtaining the necessary permits from the Junta de Castilla y León.
The output of the first containers with tungsten concentrate is “an important milestone in a project that shows Saloro's commitment to the development of an economically depressed area, such as western Salamanca and, more specifically, the Vitigudino region,” those responsible say that "the mine has become a revulsion for employment."
