Bergsmansafton 18/3 om Iron ore a critical raw material?

Bergsmansafton 18/3 om Iron ore a critical raw material?

The EUs list of critical raw materials currently includes some 34 minerals of which 9 are strategic. Iron ore is not one of them. Iron ore has one of the highest rankings on economic importance but, according to the European Commission, the supply risk is low. Is this a fair assessment? Because there are differences between iron ores and iron ores. What is an appropriate iron ore for a blast furnace may not be appropriate in a green steel direct reduction environment. What if iron ore were to be differentiated by quallity – would that change the outcome of the assessment and label iron ore as a critical raw material?
 
This is a joint event organized by the Swedish and Finnish Metal & Mining Associations (SBF and VMY).

VMY: Inbjudan till en virtuell exkursion den 10 februari - Nussir projekt

I Nussir-området finns Norges största kopparfyndighet. Där bedrevs gruvverksamhet redan på 1970‑talet, och år 2025 inleddes verksamheten på nytt med nya ägare. Verksamheten befinner sig nu i ett intressant inledningsskede, och det är spännande att få bekanta sig med hur återstarten av en äldre gruva har lyckats hos vår granne.
