Sealed-bid auction marble quarry María del Carmen – VALEXMAR Investors
Marble quarry for sale in Spain.
Solid in stone, value in numbers.
An exclusive investment for smart capital
The María del Carmen mining concession, the only one in Extremadura for marble extraction, represents a singular investment opportunity: a tangible asset with an active concession and large-scale calcitic–dolomitic marble reserves.
Currently paused due to the partners’ retirement, it is offered free of encumbrances, with all permits in place to restart operations immediately.
Natural marble: authentic and stable value
Compared to engineered stone, natural marble retains prestige, authenticity and durability, sustaining stable demand.
Its use is broad and constant: from housing and residential projects to commercial and institutional buildings, plus the luxury segment, heritage restoration, and strategic industries such as chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
The VALEXMAR quarry in Alconera, with guaranteed extraction volumes and an exclusive colour range, is a tangible, secure investment in a market where authenticity still commands value.
Why invest in Spain’s natural stone sector?
Spain is a mining powerhouse in Europe, with a long extractive tradition and a legal framework that offers unique advantages: 10-year accelerated depreciation, tax deductions of up to 30%, and no production-based mining royalties.
There are no restrictions on foreign ownership, ensuring full legal certainty. Spanish marble enjoys international prestige and benefits from advanced logistics and support from public agencies that actively promote investment and exports.
Note on “mining royalties”: in Spain, unlike countries such as Peru or Chile, there is no production-based royalty on extracted volumes. Companies pay taxes and concession/administrative fees and meet other fiscal obligations, but no direct royalty on output.
