AGEMERA reconaissance trip to Mina Concepción

AGEMERA reconaissance trip to Mina Concepción

Another AGEMERA field trip took place, this time in Spain, to visit the facilities of Mina Concepción (Huelva region)

On February 1st, researchers from Lithica SCCL and GEO3BCN (CSIC) together with representatives of Sandfire Matsa carried out a reconaissance fieldtrip in Mina Concepción (Huelva, Spain). Mining activities of the old open pit ended in the late 80s, but the area is now being prospected for underground potential.

Application of innovative geophysical methods to the detection of subsurface ore bodies is one of the main goals of the AGEMERA project. In this site, ambient noise seismic methods will be tested for underground mapping of massive sulfide ore bodies. The main goal of the trip was to understand the geological setting of the area and start planning logistic and geometry of the seismic campaign. The first data will be available this spring, so stay tuned to discover what these methods are capable of in this type of settings!

  • AGEMERA Open Innovation Seminar (Tallinn, 6 May 2025)

    Join us for the AGEMERA Open Innovation Seminar: "Exploring Tomorrow: Innovations in Mineral Tech and Beyond", where leading experts, technology developers, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers will gather to discuss the future of mineral exploration, deep-tech innovation, and sustainable resource management. 

    The event will take place on 6 May 2025, at TalTech Mektory (Tallinn, Estonia) and online, at 15:00-17:00 EET (14:00-16:00 CET). For those joining in-person, the event will be followed by networking and refreshments. 

    The seminar will highlight the achievements of the AGEMERA Project, particularly its innovative, non-invasive mineral exploration and data visualisation technologies. These advances are reshaping how we discover and understand mineral resources, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and operational efficiency.
