Cross-border observatory for the geo-economic valuation of the Iberian Pyrite Belt GEO_FPI is a research project financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) within the INTERREG V-A Spain – Portugal (POCTEP) 2014-2020 program, corresponding to the approved call by the European Commission through Decision C(2015) 893 of February 12, 2015. The evaluated cost of the project is €1,156,070.40, and the total FEDER subsidy approved is €867,052.80.
The project execution period ended on December 31, 2018. The project intervention area is limited to the Iberian Pyrite Belt (FPI), which extends through Alentejo and the Algarve in Portugal, and Andalusia in Spain, from the western border of the province of Seville, a large part of the province of Huelva and up to the Portuguese Atlantic coast, with approximate dimensions of 250 km long by 40 km wide.
The primary beneficiary of the project is the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain, the General Secretariat for Industry, Energy and Mines of the Ministry of Finance, Industry and Energy of the Junta de Andalucía, the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology, I.P. (LNEG) and the Municipal Chamber of Aljustrel (CMA).
The Iberian Pyrite Belt (FPI) is one of the essential metallogenic provinces in the world.
IGME, LNEG and JA have extensive scientific information on IPF dispersed in reports, databases and projects in the organizations above, without harmonizing and spatial continuity.
