3 Green Mining, part of national R&D funding Duration: Budget: 60 m, out of which Tekes funding is 30 m. Enterprises: 20 m Tekes funding as grants (35/50%) or loans (70%), proposals can be submitted all the time Public research organizations: 10 m Tekes funding as grants (60/70%). Calls once a year. GTK Universities Green Mining Direct geology related R&D and education Approximately m /y Harry Sandström

4 Long term aims of the programme The aim is to make Finland a global forerunner of responsible mineral economy To achieve global leader status in selected fields of mineral and mining research Continuous improvement of practices in organizational processes in Finnish mineral cluster companies Finnish mineral sector is well known and carries a positive image within the country and abroad To develop new business models that offer export opportunities to Finnish mining sector service and technology providers and increase the number of SMEs in the cluster Harry Sandström

5 The programme covers the whole mineral sector Mining activity metallic minerals industrial minerals Exploration Mining industry Technology industry Minerals sector machinery and equipment manufacture Process planning Research and education Aggregate production Gravel and sand extraction Stone materials industry Natural stone industry Soapstone product manufacture Dimension stone production Minerals sector services Excavation contracting Transport services Sampling and measurement Financial services Information services Consultant services

11 Focus and funding of company specific projects

12 Going towards to new mining age? 5 4,5 4 3,5 3 2,5 2 1,5 1 0,5 0 High commodity prices Easy access to capital High labour costs/low availability More volume = more equipment Exploit known deposits, marginal new ground. Unprecedented volume challenge Combat declining grades Productivity focus/low cost Autonomy & Smart Systems Safety via technology Less people = more technology and automation Our opportunities Bigger domestic market Finnish cleantech know-how Technology and service export Source: Austmine 2012

13 Challanges in mining cluster innovation system End users 10 metal mines 30 industrial minerals quarries 40 exploration companies Commercialization Technology and service providers 3 big actors 3 medium size and 10 small companies R&D organizations Aalto University GTK Kajaani School of Applied Sciences Kemi-Tornio School of Applied Science Lappeenranta University of Technology Oulu University Tampere University of Technology VTT Where the innovations are created? Where they are developed further globally? How to promote the growth and internationalization? Harry Sandström

14 Segmentation of recognized service and technology providers in Finnish mining cluster Segment Harry Sandström Number of companies Laboratory, measurement, intrumentation technology 23 Environmental consultancy 15 Engineering works 14 Planning and engineering 11 Machinery providing and planning 12 Material providers 8 Other business consultancy 7 Geological consulting 4 Sampling 5 Leagal consultancy 4 Financing 4 Automation 4 Water technology 3 ITC 3 Maintenance 5 Energy 3 Tecnology providers 2 Communication 1 Recycling 1 Total 129 Does not include construction and transport companies

15 Internationalization and size of selected mining cluster Technology and service providers Part of international concern Business as usual Beginning/Planning Harry Sandström

16 Summary Project portfolio covers well the sector and includes over 200 man power years R&D effort by now. The program has gathered new R&D organizations with different viewing angle diversifying the research. There is still need to enhance the Nordic and international cooperation in RDI projects. Joint arctic mining technology development is a big opportunity to the northern mining countries. Collaborative research among mining companies is still an unused opportunity. Pilot cases and support for commercializing are needed to get new service and technology innovations into the market. Horizontal alliances among the service and technology providers should be investigated to get required critical mass and credibility.
