1 MIN-GUIDE Policy Laboratory 5: Mining and mineral information in the European Union Madrid May 2018 Analysis of the contribution of the extractive industry of industrial rocks and minerals to the wealth of citizens in Spain Pedro Mora Peris Vocal Comité Ejecutivo COMINROC Director Técnico OFICEMEN César Luaces Frades Secretario General Técnico COMINROC Director General Federación de Áridos y ANEFA 30/05/2018 1

2 The extractive industry of the 21st century Head of important industrial sectors, with vertical integration in the construction industry: Cement Concrete Lime Gypsum Ceramic (flat, brick, tile, refractory,...) Flat glass Mortar Prefabricated Asphalt mixtures Rock workshops (block, decks, boards, pavements,...) Construction companies 30/05/2018 2

3 The extractive industry of the 21 st century Extractive activity supplying raw materials essential for the industry: Loads Chemistry (Sosa Paper Basic metallurgy (fluxes) Foundries (moulding sands) Fertilizers Glass Paintings Ceramics Pigments Absorbents Filters Refractory 30/05/2018 3

4 The extractive industry of the 21 st century Agriculture and food Soil correction Fertilizers Feed loads Beverage filtering Salt... Environment Control of emissions Neutralisation of acid waters Filtering and water purification... 30/05/2018 4

5 The sector of industrial rocks and minerals in figures ,773 extraction sites (99% of the total Spanish extractive industry) 16,819 direct workers (81%) + 5,575 subcontracted workers in mining (63%) 173 Mt produced (98%) 1,992 million of value of production in 1st transformation (69%) Vertically integrated industrial sectors Cement, lime, plaster,... Ceramic industry, Ornamental rock workshops,... The production value is multiplied More than 60 different types of rocks and industrial minerals Source: EME 2016 & own elaboration 30/05/2018 5

6 Economic and social impact Local and regional Rocks and industrial minerals Main number of sites in 17/17 CCAA (100.0%) Main source of mining employment in 16/17 CCAA (94.1%) Main extractive industry by value of production in 14/17 CCAA (82.4%) An industry spread throughout the country Local supply Fixed employment and creates wealth in rural areas 30/05/2018 Source: EME 2016 & own elaboration 6

16 An industry with a productivity above the average Productivity Average site: 6.1 workers 62,000 tons / year 718,000 value of production / year Productivity per worker: 10,301 t 118,000 30/05/2018 Source: EME 2016 & own elaboration 16

17 Local impact clearly positive Promotes the social and economic development of the regions where it operates A fundamental industry for fixing direct and indirect employment Fixation of population in rural areas Help in the fight against the depopulation of rural areas Strategic in many Spanish Regions Economic contribution (taxes, fees, salaries and local consumption) Social insurance Corporation tax Mining rates Municipal fees Municipal licenses Environmental taxes... Vertical development with downstream industries It helps to ensure that they are set in rural areas Low land use (<0.1%) and very little in relation to other industries or activities (agriculture or forestry) Great potential to contribute positively to the concept of circular economy and the conservation of nature 30/05/
