A MINERAL DEPOSIT COULD STOP THE RURAL EXODUS IN VILLASRUBIAS (ANTENA 3 NEWS)

News about the mineral deposit in Villasrubias, Salamanca, highlights that this discovery of high-grade lithium could be key to stopping the rural exodus in the region. The Australian company Energy Transition Minerals (ETM) has identified a high concentration of lithium in the area, which is essential for the manufacture of electric batteries. This project not only has the potential to create local employment, but also to boost the region’s economy, attracting investment and helping to ensure that local people are not forced to leave their homes in search of opportunities elsewhere.

In addition to lithium, other minerals such as tin and tantalum have also been found in Villasrubias, increasing interest in this mining area. These resources are strategic for the European Union, which reinforces the importance of the project for the local and national economy. This mining development could be a key factor to revitalize the area and stop depopulation(
