Strategic research areas determined by the Strategic

Centres for Science, Technology and

Innovation

Value creation based on service solutions and intangible assets Business in global

value networks

Renewing services and production by digital means

Natural resources and sustainable economy Intelligent environments Vitality of people

Tekes

Finnish Funding Agency for

Technology and Innovation 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

Finnish government is strongly committed in

systematic development of mining industry

The Finnish Minerals Strategy 2010. The aims of the strategy include reducing the environmental impacts of mining

EU Raw Materials Initiative 2008 Tekes Green Mining programme 2011

Concern over the availability of raw materials

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

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: 17000 employees

Turnover Euro 10,8 billion

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: 2011–2016

 Budget: EUR 60 million, of which Tekes will contribute about one half.

• Companies: EUR 20 million

• Public research institutes: EUR 10 million

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.

The Green Mining concept

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

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

 Machinery automation

 Mine wide data integration

 Communication technology

 ”Mine internet” _ Bioleaching _Flotation

 Grinding

 Preparation methods

 Process optimization by measuements

 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

Green mining from Finnish perspective, not only

environmental technology



Environmentally acceptable



Sustaibable use of raw materials



Net social aspects positive by constructive

communication with stake holders



Economic welllfare to whole the community
