MI TODAY
MINERALI INDUSTRIALI (MI) is an Italian independent mid-size
company founded about 40 years ago, managed by the two owner
families and 6 top managers. It has been listed in the Italian
Stock Exchange (standard 1 segment, named Gruppo Minerali
Maffei) till March 2012 and then has been delisted through a
voluntary OPA (public purchase offer). MI operates in the sector of
extraction, treatment and trade of raw materials for glassworks
and ceramic such as silica and feldspathic sands, feldspars,
kaolin and clays for the Italian market. In August 2013 has
merged the company MINERAL RESOURCES (MR), dedicated to
the recovery of secondary raw materials, the managing of foreign
mining activities, the design and construction of mining facilities
for third parties.
The direct staff of MI up to 31st December 2013 was around 550
units (about half of them in Italy), plus some hundreds of subcontractors operative in non strategic operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL RECOVERIES: METHODOLOGY
The Group is traditionally keen on the safeguard and
valorization of the areas object of exploitation. This
pushed the company to constantly invest in
environmental recovery projects of its mines and
quarries (for more info www.leminierechevivono.it).
The interventions of environmental recovery are
punctually planned according to:
• morphological characteristics of the mining areas to
be recovered;
• the inclination of the site based on the edaphic
characteristics found (climatic conditions, earth,
vegetation and fauna);
• the future possibility of exploitation of the
recovered areas from the community.
pag. 12
ENVIRONMENTAL RECOVERIES: PURPOSES
The interventions of environmental recovery, studied
ad hoc for each single site, have per objective, for
example, the:
• touristic valorization;
• creation of pleasant areas to give to the local people
through local organization as “Pro Loco”;
• improvement of the pedology characteristics of the
fields interested in the recovery with consequent
increase of the agricultural production;
• setting in safety/recovery to green/natural valorization
of degraded areas exploited by previous mining
activities before the acquisition of the site by the
Group;
• creation of habitat suitable for the reproduction of
the local fauna and birdlife.
All the interventions of environmental recovery are
joined by the contextuality of the recovery with the
activity of mining exploitation in order to limit the
impact on the environment.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The R&D team has the following tasks:
a) geological and mining research
research;;
b) study and valorisation of new deposits;
c) study and realization of new mining plants,
traditional or with innovative cycles;
d) study and realization of new machines (e.g. a
dryer with low consumes levels and a high pressure
roller mill);
e) carry out laboratory and semi
semi--industrial tests
with the purpose to improve the ceramic and
glass mix, by introducing the new products
mentioned above.
The R&D activity done by MI is for internal use,
sometimes acts as third parties and often in
collaboration with Universities and researches
centre of other companies.
pag. 14
NEW PROJECTS
Here are our plans for the future:
• realization in other parts of the world of projects
based on the model done in Tunisia, that is proposing a
minority share to important customers, with long-term
supply contracts;
• developing of the selling activity of mining plants and
equipments;
• development of the managing activity of the mines
and plants as third parties;
• valorization of the quartz of Sondalo, best working
Italian mine and, maybe, European of pure quartz, for
high end uses as, for example, the solar panels;
• evaluation of possible acquisitions and partnership in
Italy and abroad.
