The deposit of Cantera Solis is located in the Principality of Asturias, on the Southwest of Avilés, in Corvera of Asturias (Spain). From the geological point of view, the deposit is situated in the central area of Asturias, in the Mesozoic- Tertiary depression, having its origin in the Jurassic period, unconformity over the Paleozoic. The formation of conglomerates presents a considerable thickness, above 100 m in the area of the biggest topography. It is a conglomerate or puddingstones with an accused isotropy and neither well-ordered patterns nor sedimentary structures can be observed. Only occasionally, low levels of sandstones or clay of little lateral continuity and thickness may appear. The nature of the pebbles is mainly quartzite. In order to achieve the exploitation of this deposit, we hold the Resource Authorisation Section A, in accordance with the current Mining Law, with a surface of 50Ha and an estimate stock of 100 million tons. The plant production capacity is 1.000.000 tons/year (400Tm/hour net), with the capacity to increase such amount, according to market demands. The system is totally automated with the highest technology in grinding and sieving machinery which allows us to offer completely grinded and washed products.
The historical annual productions have been as follows:
