All the interventions of the environmental reclamation are joined by the contextuality of
the recovery with the activity of mining exploitation in order to limit the surface involved.
Environmental reclamation
As a sustainable family company we respect the value of nature and safeguard of the proper
restoration of the areas subject to mining exploitation. We constantly invest in environmental
reclamation projects in our mines and quarries (for more info www.leminierechevivono.it).
A few examples of the objectives of our activities of environmental reclamation, customized for
each site, are:
•creation of a suitable habitat for the reproduction of the local wildlife and birdlife;
•setting in safety/recovery to green/natural enhancement of degraded areas exploited by
previous mining activities before the acquisition of the site by the Group;
•improvement of the pedology characteristics of the fields interested in the reclamation
with consequent increase of the agricultural production;
•creation of pleasant areas to be given to local people through local organizations, such as
Tourist Boards;
•tourist enhancement.

Research and development
13
Approximately 7% of the total turnover every year is invested in development projects researching new
technologies for the treatment of minerals, aiming to obtain raw materials specifically suited to customer needs.
Due to the technical expertise developed over years and also the continuous cooperation with institutions such as Engineering Schools and Universities, nowadays Minerali Industriali is able to offer great technological flexibility for the treatment of raw materials, thus enabling the study and supply of customized products. Minerali Industriali studies the application of new raw materials in the industrial cycles of its customers, providing them an extremely important technological support.
During 2011 Minerali Industriali obtained the approval of three European projects called ‘LIFE’ series. For further information please refer to the relevant links to the dedicated websites:
www.unizeo.eu – www.sasies.com – www.sanitser.eu
New projects
Here are our plans for the future:
- starting Joint Ventures with key customers in other parts of the world, proposing a minority share with long-term supply contracts;
- developing sale activity of mining plants and machinery;
- development of the activity in Countries where the Group is already present to optimize fixed costs and make full use of the existing management;
- enhancement of Sondalo quartz, one of the best European deposits
for high-end uses such as solar panels, technologically advanced glasses and e-stone;
- evaluation of possible acquisitions and partnership in Italy and abroad.
