Spain: to be a mining country again?
Since it might be. Certainly, not as in the times of the Roman occupation, but yes that seems possible because the propitious circumstances happen for it. On the one hand, Spain has prime matters for which demand exists on the market. In Finance there has already been done echo of which there are feasibility studies in march to exploit gold, uranium, tungsten and copper in different areas of the Spanish geography. Spain also possesses the necessary infrastructures so that the mining activity recovers; i.e. water, electricity and railroads and, what is more important, a political stability and an environmental regulation that allows the mining development in a few reasonable limits for the industry.
None of these topics is trivial.
From here, to be lucky. That the companies of exploration find mineral sufficient as to exploit it, that the Government of Spain obtains income bidding exploration areas as it has done in Salamanca and that the companies remember of that we have miners expert in coal capable - I hope - of retraining to be able to extract gold, uranium, tungsten or what is worn across chest. And set to ask, some of these explorations to find in Spain Rare Earths or platinums, for example.

Spain - In sale the Spanish gold-mines
New type of mining business, the sale of mining information, in particular the Spanish developments of gold, which nowadays could be profitable. A curious initiative that has attracted attention of us.
“A company located in the Valencian Community, Mineral Generative, has in sale 250 auriferous indications placed in the whole Spain, as it consists on his web page. What it offers is the concrete information where from there are located possible deposits of gold that were not exploited, or that gave in for any reason, and that today would be profitable to be useful with the current quotations in rise of the valued metal and with the modern machineries and available technologies.
In mining, Máximo Casañ collaborates in the last years with different companies in the investigation of important projects of deposits of uranium (don Benito, Badajoz), I pray (Asturias), talc, salt of boron and even in the search of possible uses of diamonds. It has occupied high responsible posts in the groups Rio Tinto, Mawson Sweden, Borax and BP.
As regards the gold, Max investigated for years in the National library ancient documents that date from times of the reign of Fernando VII, who ordered to form and to write a file on this matter with the help of secret informations up to that moment. The information that was compiled almost two centuries ago was dating from Roman times, and, according to Casañ, «for strange that it seems, although this basic information is not today secret, it was left». He has worried about putting the information in order and about placing the place of every possible deposit.
There are approximately 250 «unknown mining indications of gold placed in the whole Iberian Peninsula». In some of them he supposes that also there is platinum, and in the majority, along with the gold it is possible to extract copper, iron and tin.
What it sells is the information privileged about the set of possible mines, not for units or blocks, and naturally, the buyer would be provided with the exact detail of every place.

Spain and the gold of Solbes
To the whole world him “the gold of Moscow” sounds, but perhaps in the future I spoke more about “the gold of Solbes”.
With the whole world lying, in 2007 scarcely it was possible to hide the massive sales of gold to cool the ascent of the value of the ounce. If the gold was increasing of value, that was meaning that some of them were doing place to themselves in the "refuge". It was working like a storms alert.
So so that it was following the speculative revelry, the Central banks decided to be coordinated to do massive sales of gold, that is to say, metallic dumping of the prices. They put damper to the alarm counterfires, because they knew that the fire had already started and nobody was going to be able to extinguish it, so they chose to apply a fire-break thinking that it might support the “controlled fire”.
That's why when the Canary senator of the People's Party, Javier Sánchez Simón, asked Pedro Solbes at the beginning of June, 2007 to what the massive sale of ingots owed, up to 25 % of the Spanish strategic reservations, the Minister of that time said something that now of course us will sound hilariously: "it is tried, selling gold, not profitable assets, to turn it into bonds of fixed revenue, which yes have profitability”. And he added categorically: "The gold is already not profitable”.
What good would have come to him now this gold to the "credibility" and the "confidence" in the Spanish general accounts!
The Solbes gold faded away, changed insignificantly into tons of paper money, which two years later, in the middle of 2009, already were not costing anything and it was necessary to change for a massive injection of Special Rights of Draft of the International Monetary Fund. Solbes thought that this strident measurement would be alert of the weakness of the Spanish accounts and left the ship crossly.
But: who was more irresponsible?, he on having given one's approval to the exit of the gold year and a half before the failure of Lehman Brothers, or Shoemaker …

Murcia buys golden sale and jewels
At the time that the crisis provokes death managerial and countless personal tragedies, it unties the fever of the gold, it is not a figment as in the famous movie of Charles Chaplin. There is a flood of propaganda of golden buy and jewels in all the corners of the city of Murcia.
The crisis has provoked a spectacular demand of gold and jewels and approximately 50 establishments devote themselves to buy them in Murcia and his districts.
Pedro Soler takes 25 years in the office. Established in The golden Ingot, to few meters of the Museum Salzillo, he mentions that for one year also it works with the determinations, a buy with right to return with 10 % of extra charge a month. “The people who has not charged on the 31st and a mortgage needs to pay a letter o, pawn a value object, but it can recover it after one month, with 10 % of interest on the given quantity”. For the determinations in longer term, he advises to go to Madrid, to a pawnshop. The appraisal of the gold realizes it with simplicity. It bathes the piece in an acid that will calibrate the authenticity of the object. If it does not get dark, there will be proof that it is authentic. Then, a simple scales will determine his weight.
The gold is the value excellent refuge, and with the weakness of the dollar, he has suffered this year a big climb in his price until 1.200 dollars exceeded the ounce. The 24 carats gold, frequent little, with 100 % of purity the gram is paid to 19 euros, 18 carats That, the most habitual, with 75 % of purity, to 13 euros. “Nevertheless - mentions Pedro Soler - the Russians and Ukrainians, the immigrants of this one of Europe in general bring to me 14 carats gold or even of 10 and logically they receive a much minor price”.
With the acquired gold, this buying expert sells it not to the public but to a company, Sempsa.
Also he buys silver, to 0.15 cents the gram, and clocks without machinery. Of the silver, he makes sure, only is of interest to sell pieces of silverware and salvers.
Pedro Soler calculates in 3 grams the middleweight of a 18 carats alliance, therefore to get rid of such a dear piece can suppose a revenue for 40 euros.
3 of the establishments of buy golden sale in Murcia belong to Vicente Martínez García, who has opened 2 places from the last May, 2009. With his control position at the head of Gold D'Italia, in the street Princess, is buying and a golden smelter. But also it works with other jewels. It proves to be very expressive on having spoken about the brilliant ones: "It is a closed market and with difficult exit because it is necessary to look for a person who looks for a size and a certain size of a concrete piece”. It puts like example that a new stone with sheen of 0,03, equivalent to little more of the head of a pin, might pay it to approximately 35 euros.
He acquires the finished clocks, including the machinery, but it is important to contribute the guarantee certificate. The gold of the piece has a price of approximately 13 euros the 18 carats gram. Once submitted to the opportune cross-check checkups to calibrate the wear of the chain, the crystal, normally of sapphire that those of the good marks take and the contrasts it appraises them in a price that, in general, there supposes 50 % of what would cost this clock on the market.
Namely the bought mark clock five years ago that it sells to itself now to 1.000 euros, with guarantee, gold and good global conservation, would pay it at present to 500 euros. It is not the best business for the citizen in difficulty.
But the tsunami of the crisis can with everything and some, in these anxiety times, they sell up to the golden teeth.

The resurrection of the mines of the so called Iberian belt of the pyrite owes, according to the manager of a company of the sector, “to the increase of price of the prime matters, provoked especially by the strong demand of China, which can make profitable again the development of some godforsaken mines”.

This way it manipulates The Sixth one: Mounts and the Gold of Moscow
It is possible that several hundreds of thousands of Spanish who have never read a History book believe that that thing about the gold of Moscow was “a deceit of the dictatorship”. After all, “the television has said it”: no?
On September 13, 1936, the Secretary of the Treasury, Juan Negrín, and the president of the cabinet of the Government of the Riding Popular, Long Front, both of the Spanish socialist party, promote a reserved decree that grants to the Government power to move the golden deposits of the Spanish Bank. In the following dawn, police forces, with a tall Treasury Department official to the head (Méndez Aspe) and several tens locksmiths affiliated to the UGT, enter the Spanish Bank and begin to plunder the deposits. The teller, impotent, commits suicide.

Almost 8.000 boxes were transporting the metal (hundred of these boxes, certainly, got lost for the way). Once in Soviet territory, the NKVD (precedent of the KGB) escorted it up to Moscow. It never returned to Spain.
No historian favorable to the Popular Front has ever denied the episode. Simply, it is impossible to deny that it happened. And if some test was missing, this one the son of the proper Negrín facilitated it when, at a height of 1956, it made to come to general Franco the documents that realized of the operation.
