The current problems of mineral extraction in Europe are not only access to resources and the environmental issues involves in the processes, but increasingly the various legal frameworks existing in the different EU countries.
Mining in Europe is not only metallic mining, but, in fact, the other mining sectors (dimensional stones, aggregates and industrial minerals and rocks) are far more important both in terms of production and in terms of value.
Authigenic magnesite, hydromagnesite and huntite associated with intensely altered and serpentinized ophiolitic rocks in Attica (mainland Greece) occur predominantly as veinlets and nodules within a totally weathered former serpentinite groundmass. Carbonate δ¹⁸O values are consistent with post-geothermal fluid temperatures between 25 and 70°C, but...
