1 Finnish Green Mining Program Intelligent and minimum-impact mines Harry Sandström Project coordinator Spinverse Oy Peruvian mining delegation in Finland August 2014

2 Tekes Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Business in global value networks Value creation based on service solutions and intangible assets Renewing services and production by digital means Natural resources and sustainable economy Intelligent environments Strategic research areas determined by the Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation Vitality of people Tekes actively seeks international co-operation and supports the internationalization of Finnish companies within the focus areas. Tekes RDI funding for companies and research organizations is approximately 600 M annualy. Tekes runs innovation programs and promote commercialization together with its partners DM

3 Spinverse promotes innovations globally Offices: Finland: Espoo, Oulu Russia: St Petersburgh China: Shanghai

4 Finnish government is strongly committed in systematic development of mining industry Government action plan for sustainable mining and expertise Tekes Green Mining programme 2011 The Finnish Minerals Strategy The aims of the strategy include reducing the environmental impacts of mining EU Raw Materials Initiative 2008 Concern over the availability of raw materials

5 Vision 2050: the Finnish Minerals Strategy Finland will be a global forerunner of the sustainable exploitation of minerals, and the minerals industry will be one of the cornerstones of our national economy. Global competitiveness Secure supply of raw materials Regional vitality Management of the entire field Solutions for challenges of the global minerals chain Promoting domestic growth and welfare Reducing environmental impacts

6 The Finnish mining cluster much more than mines Mining in Finland: 50 mines and quarries 12 metal mines Turnover Euro 1,5 billion 4500 employees Significant mining technology and service industry: Outotec, Metso, Normet, Sandvik, and a large number of SME s with high growth potential Metal refining in Finland: employees Turnover Euro 10,8 billion Concentrate export Euro 140 million Concentrate import Euro 2 billion

7 Green Mining Tekes = Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Tekes mining programme that aims to make Finland into a forerunner of responsible mining globally. Duration: Budget: EUR 60 million, of which Tekes will contribute about one half. Companies: EUR 20 million Public research institutes: EUR 10 million

8 Mining is an opportunity Significant potential for minerals / high level know how / good infrastructure New technologies, pilots etc. Social licence to operate of mining increases in importance - more efficient and environmentally friendly production methods are needed Clean Tech products, processes, services The programme supports Finnish SMEs operating in the mining sector and strives to build up mining related business. SME Export!

9 The Green Mining concept Promotes materials and energy efficiency Ensures availability of mineral resources for future needs Minimizes adverse environmental and social impacts Improves work and organisational practices Ensures sustainable land use following mine closure Less energy used in process Renewable energy utilized Less side rock and wastes Less water used and discharged New ore reserves Advanced exploration techniques Mineral processing for low grades Reduce of environmental footprint and emissions Maximize positive social impacts Considering of stakeholder interests Culture of continuous improvement of safety, quality and environmental performance of the companies Mine closure plan is started simultaneously with mine planning and is updated regularly during the whole life time of the mine

10 Green Mining program covers value chain from exploration to mining Brown field exploration based on integration of various geophysical data sets Geochemical exploration Exploration on sensitive areas Analytical methods Exploration Machinery automation Mine wide data integration Communication technology Mine internet Mining Bioleaching Flotation Grinding Preparation methods Process optimization by measuements Processing Sustainability Water processing: adsorption materials, membrane technology, reverse and forward osmosis On-line monitoring of metals Mine closer Social issues: land use, conflicts of interest between stake holders Management of arsenic and nitrogen discharges Particulate emissions in mining
