Is Europe open for mining? 

After years of anti-mining sentiment in Europe that has seen a move to ever-increasing imports of critical materials, the EU and other European countries are starting to recognise the opportunities gained from exploiting natural resources closer to home. Raising commodity prices, innovative technologies and the EU sponsored initiatives to develop sustainable Raw Materials base in Europe are unlocking new investment and economic incentives across the European region.  Mining in Europe Needs Makeover. There is short-sightedness from some politicians who launch these anti-mining campaigns and don’t consider or understand what that can do to the long-term growth of the industry or the overall economy. More should be made of the stable politics in Europe and the legislative framework that provides better security of investment than in many parts of the world.

Despite the emergence of new mining opportunities in Europe, they remain relatively unknown or misunderstood by many governments, businesses and investors. MINEX Europe Forum helps to close this information gap and present significant mining developments across the European continent. MINEX Europe Forum facilitates cross border dialogue on sustainable mining and addresses technical, social, environmental and political challenges facing miners, investors and governments.
