16/17 May Istanbul, Turkey

2. Euromines – what it is
Recognized representative of the European metals and minerals mining industry;
Service provider to its members with regard to EU policy;
Network for cooperation and for the exchange of information throughout the sector within Europe;
Link to contacts with the mining community throughout the world.

3. Euromines – what it does
Defines common industry positions and actions.
Establishes a constructive dialogue with the governmental institutions in order to ensure early consultation in all those areas of EU policy and legislation affecting the industry, and to asserting the industry's views and positions.
Advocates for the extractive industry by promoting the benefit and societal value of both its activities and its products.

4. Euromines Membership Euromines

6. Euromines Structure Based in Brussels
Membership meetings twice a year.
Working committees and groups meet regularly throughout the year;
Euromines is following trade and investment questions for the mining industry outside and inside Europe.
Euromines Committees:
Environment Committee
Health & Safety Committee
Communication Committee
Policy Committee
Gold Mining Assembly
Magnesite Producers Assembly

7. Our Key Messages RESOURCES DEMAND STANDARDS
We strongly believe that Europe has a viable resource base
DEMAND
The demand for raw materials is continuously increasing
STANDARDS
Europe should maintain an enabling environment that provides for achievement of the highest standards in the industry

8. Key challenges and opportunities
Meeting “base-load” demand for minerals
Remaining relevant in a global economy – “having something to sell to the world”
Increased competition for resources and therefore increased supply risks
Further de-coupling of economic growth from resource and energy use (Producing more value with less material)

9. Meeting “base-load” demand
Upgrade and maintenance of infrastructure (health, transport, energy,…)
Accommodating increased urbanisation
Deploying new sustainable technologies
Sharing equitably the benefits of new technologies
Re-balancing lifestyles and employment across regions

10. level playing field in access to resource in third countries
EU Raw Materials Initiative
Foster sustainable supply from European
sources
Ensure
level playing field in access to resource in third countries
Boost resource efficiency and recycling
Integrated strategy
Three pillars
launched Nov. 2008
Underpinned by Research Horizon 2020
- National Minerals Policies
- Land-use Planning Policies
- Clear and understandable authorisation processes 10

11. National Minerals Policies
Ensure that mineral resources are provided to society:
In Economically viable ways
Harmonised with other national policies and
Based on sustainable development principles which includes :
Economic
Environmental
Social Requirements

12. Common Approaches to National Minerals Policies
A horizontal approach (several ministries)
Broad consultation (round-tables)
Sharing best practices (EU, national, industry)
Addressing key themes:
Maximising sustainable development
Accelerating permitting processes
Future minerals availability (skills & infrastructure)
Integration with land-use planning policies
Geological research & innovation

13. Mineral Supply is directly related to Exploration effort

14. Better Exploration...
Use higher resolution geophysics to find more ore deposits in an established mining area; uses existing infrastructure and workforce

15. Better modelling...
Geological Surveys conducts research in advanced 3D-GIS modelling in established mining areas
Research integrates numerous data-sets that can then be queried to reveal prospective targets

19. Better Mining... Paste backfill, to reduce surface footprint
Extract more product for given mine footprint
Extract more ore per mine
Underground hybrid engines, for better ventilation
Rock mechanics, to allow safer deep mining

22. Better Mineral Processing...
More Recovery with reduced inputs
Pre-concentration to allow ore sorting and waste disposal underground
Flotation techniques to allow good recoveries from coarser particles
Reduced milling energy
More capture of by-product minor metals and minerals
More vertical integration: mine-mill-hydrometallurgical plant
