The Genna Tres Montis mine in Silius, Cagliari, will reopen after 30 years to extract 70,000 tons of fluorite and 6,800 tons of galena annually, as part of Italy's strategy to reduce reliance on China for critical raw materials essential for electric vehicle production. An investment of 50 million euros will upgrade the site, with support from Valente Spa for electric locomotives. This initiative aligns with the National Mining Exploration Plan, which aims to boost domestic extraction of strategic materials by 2030.
