\n\tReasons
to invest<\/b>\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Andalusia is the Spanish region with the highest numbers in terms of mining sites, export rates, employment creation (6,800 direct jobs) and production (25% of the national average). Furthermore, the region has great potential in terms of natural resources, being home to the largest reserve of non-ferrous minerals (polymetallic sulphides) in Europe (Iberian Pyrite Belt) and to one of the richest copper deposits worldwide. <\/p>\n

Andalusia’s mining sector is considered strategic because it supplies other industries, including chemistry, metal-mechanics and sustainable construction. Aware of the productive importance of this industry, Andalusian universities offer courses in mining engineering, geology and environmental sciences, among others, with the aim to ensure labor qualification in this sector. <\/p>\n\t

Once minerals are extracted, the need to process and transport them has favored the development of auxiliary and satellite industries which, in the case of Andalusia, have a high degree of expertise. There are currently over 590 mining sites in the three sub-sectors comprising the Andalusian mining industry: ornamental rocks, arids and metallic mining. Furthermore, as part of the EU, Andalusia has a stable regulatory framework.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"mining\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"AtlanticCooper\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t
