| | | Iberian Iron Ore Company, Limited 1894 | Beautifully engraved certificate from the Iberian Iron Ore Company, Limited issued
in 1894. This historic document has an
ornate border around it. This item is hand signed by the Company’s Directors and Secretary and is
over 108 years old. The actual certificate looks much better than the scan indicates.
Europe is not a major mining center. However, it has several established base metal mines in Scandanavia, Ireland and the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian peninsula, or "Iberia," is located in the extreme southwest of Europe. It is bordered on the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea, and on the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean. The Pyrenees form the northeast edge of the peninsula, connecting it to the rest of Europe. At Gibraltar in the south, it approaches Africa.
In medieval times the peninsula housed many small countries. However these amalgamated over time, until the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. At that point the modern position was reached and the peninsula now consists of the countries of Spain, Portugal and Andorra, and the territory of Gibraltar.
