Grupo SAMCA | Who we are and what we do
Grupo SAMCA is a family owned mining company located in Teruel, Spain. It has been extracting coal in the open air for 65 years.
SAMCA employs 200 people in the open air facilities and supplies 1,600,000 t/year of lignite to the Andorran thermal power plant, owned by ENEL.
However, the future of coal is unclear.
What do we do?

Grupo SAMCA | The answer
Production of � gano-mineral fertilisers fr� leonardite
The leonardite is a superfi cial coal, little mineralized: • Humic acid content greater than 50%.• Humic acids are very high quality organic matter
An organo-mineral is a mixed fertilizer: • 50 % organic matter for soil improvement• 50 % minerals N,P,K to feed the plant

Socio-economic elements of the business project
• Search for alternative use to coal in the Teruel mining basins in line with the decarbonisation objective set by the EU.
• Launch of a business project in a province with one of the highest depopulation rates in Spain in line with European rural development policy.
• Commitment to an agricultural project oriented to the contribution of organic matter in addition to fertilization and, therefore, aligned with the EU in the search for solutions to combat land desertifi cation.
