Sustainable Mineral Exploration

In the current context of transition towards a climate neutral economy, the required “decarbonisation” of our economy implies a rapid implementation of clean energy, efficient energy storage and clean mobility. The European industry requires significant amounts of metals, industrial minerals and particularly Critical Raw Materials (CRM) to produce the clean technologies needed. Unfortunately, recycling efficiencies are not yet sufficient to cover the current industrial demand for raw materials. Moreover, for many materials, even a 100% recycling rate would not cover present and future needs.

A virtual symposium will take place in September, focussing on recent and innovative developments in integrated exploration solutions focused on finding new deposits, benefiting from multidisciplinary and integrated approaches of advanced mineralogical, geochemical, geophysical, remote sensing, multi-dimension modelling, automation and robotisation techniques.

Special attention will be given to the role that the EU is playing in securing a sustainable supply of raw materials.

The symposium aims to bring together the key innovators of the most advanced technologies and methods for mineral exploration in Europe, namely the representatives of European exploration companies (SMEs, industries) and professionals from academia and research institutes working on mineral exploration.
