Economic geology of mineral resources

The Economic Geology of Mineral Resources research group is formed by a team with extensive experience in the study of geological resources and its activity revolves around four areas: (1) Characterization, genesis and assessment of mineral resources; (2) Mineral processing and metallurgy; (3) Mining heritage; and (4) Natural stone, historical quarries and architectural heritage. The group actively participates in European projects such as Promine, Foram, Minerals4EU, GeoERA (Frame, Mintel4EU, Eurolithos), and international projects in Latin America and Africa, such as Planageo. The results of this research have direct practical application, providing valuable information to geological resources managing bodies to facilitate strategic decision-making aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, which translates into collaborations with public administrations.
