Torre de Moncorvo is also a well-developed and promising mining area. Iron ore is mined at the Mua Mine by Aethel Partners[3]. The municipal holiday is March 19. In early November, the directorate-general for energy and geology (DGEG) authorised Aethel to control the Torre de Moncorvo iron mine, a company that hopes to put Portugal in a leading position in European mining.

gollark: I don't see why I would want dead ones.
gollark: Certainly not to the extent that you'd expect piles of dead ones.
gollark: Maybe. Not massively more than the other brands, as far as I can tell.
gollark: Guess I'll just... continue using my incredibly dubious backup disk.
