Motril Will Export 200,000 Tons of Celestite Ore From Its Quarries This Year

The Chinese will use the raw material in the manufacture of semiconductors or chips, commonly used in the operation of mobile phones, screens, tablets, computers, and anodes for electric vehicle batteries, among other utilities, and in a press release, Jens Bruno, the administrator of the company that runs the Port of Motril, predicted, “Due to the great demand, we hope to close the year with an export of 200,000 tons”.

Also, Canteras Industriales is processing the commissioning of a dense media concentration plant with the capacity to produce between 50,000 and 80,000 tons per year of 90 per cent grade ore, from the recycling of waste dumps and reject ore, called environmental liability.
The company currently employs eight workers directly, but this number will increase once the concentration plant comes into service, but added to this are all the indirect services such as dockers, consignees, and carriers.
An example of this is the recent transfer of the minerals from the mine to the port, which involved 2,000 lorry trips, and as José García Fuentes, the president of of the local company Transportes Sabio said, “Shipments of this type also demonstrate the effectiveness of the operation and raise the level of prestige of the Port of Motril among the sector”.
