MINEX Europe
Chris Barton's keynote speech at the MINEX Europe Forum in Wroclaw on 17 October 2023 Mr. Chris Barton, His Majesty's Trade Commissioner for Europe, delivered a keynote speech at the MINEX Europe Mining Forum, arguing that mining matters for sustainability, security, and success. Highlights: • 💡 Mining matters for sustainability • 🛡️ Mining matters for security • 💰 Mining matters for success Summary Sustainability: Mr. Barton highlighted the role of mining in the clean growth and energy transition, noting that critical minerals are essential for low-carbon technologies such as batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines. He also emphasised that mining can be done in a clean and sustainable way, with rigorous environmental standards and safety practices. Security: Mr. Barton stressed the importance of securing supply chains for critical minerals, which are becoming increasingly important as we move away from fossil fuels. He noted that China controls over 23% of the global supply of cobalt, which is used in batteries, and that this creates a situation where UK and European jobs and industries are vulnerable to market shocks and geopolitical events. Success: Mr. Barton argued that mining creates vast economic opportunities, both in the mining sector itself and in the wider economy. He noted that the UK's 10-point plan for a green industrial revolution will create and sustain up to 250,000 local carbon jobs and that British mining supply chain companies are renowned for their expertise in clean growth. He also highlighted London's role as the international hub for mining finance and services. Mr. Barton concluded by stating that mining matters for sustainability, security, and success and that we need to communicate this message externally and celebrate it internally.

MINEX Europe 2023 - KEYNOTE

MINEX FORUM – Premier Mining Events February 13, 2024 12:19 pm

RETHINKING MINING IN EUROPE TO MEET THE METALS AND MATERIALS DEMAND The landscape of mineral and metal supply and demand is rapidly changing as European countries transition towards a more sustainable and digital future. As geopolitical tensions keep rising, Europe’s diversification strategy shifts towards replacing trade partners and developing its own mineral and metals potential. Europe’s true mineral potential is still not fully understood due to under-exploration, outdated geological surveys, and lack of investment in mining technology. New exploration technologies and strategies can potentially unlock new reserves. Mining these resources in a sustainable way is a major challenge. Mining operations can have significant environmental impacts, including habitat destruction, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. As such, it is vital that these operations are carried out responsibly, with robust environmental protections in place. Additionally, developing these resources will require substantial investment in infrastructure, skills, and technology. This includes not only the mining operations but also the downstream industries needed to process and refine these minerals. Opportunities in Eastern, Central and wider Europe to develop the supply of metals and minerals to EU’s green energy transition. Lithium: This metal is a key component in rechargeable batteries, which are essential for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Countries such as the Czech Republic have significant lithium reserves, which could supply a substantial part of the EU’s demand. Copper and Silver: These metals are essential for wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles due to their electrical conductivity. Poland is one of the world’s leading producers of silver, and both Poland and Bulgaria have substantial copper mining industries. Rare Earth Elements (REEs): REEs are vital for a wide range of green technologies, including wind turbines, electric vehicles, and energy-efficient lighting. While China currently dominates global REE production, there are significant reserves in countries like Poland, which could potentially be developed to provide a more secure supply. Nickel and Cobalt: These metals are essential for the production of lithium-ion batteries. Finland, Poland, and the Balkan countries have significant nickel and cobalt reserves.

JUST TRANSITION AND COAL PHASE-OUT Central and Eastern Europe region looks to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and transition to more sustainable energy sources. Many countries in the region have set ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the share of renewable energy in their energy mix. This means that the coal mining industry in Central and Eastern Europe is facing significant challenges, as the demand for coal is expected to decrease in the coming years. This is particularly true for countries like Poland, where coal accounts for a large share of the energy mix. However, there are also opportunities for the coal mining industry to adapt to the changing energy landscape, such as by investing in carbon capture and storage technology, developing alternative uses for coal mining sites and infrastructure, and re-skilling and re-employing displaced coal workers. Additionally, the role of government and regulatory bodies in promoting sustainable mining practices and implementing energy transition policies will be crucial for the success of coal phase-out plans in the region.

MINEX FORUM – Premier Mining Events February 13, 2024 12:18 pm

NET ZERO MINING AND ENERGY TRANSITION AGENDA The EU has recently unveiled its Net-Zero Industry Act and Critical Raw Materials Act as part of its Green Deal Industrial Plan, aimed at ensuring that the EU can compete with the US and China in making clean tech products and accessing raw materials. In line with this, the EU has set a target of producing at least 40% of the products it needs for “net-zero” technologies, such as solar power or fuel cells, by 2030. About €23 trillion of this investment would come from redirecting investments that would otherwise have funded carbon-intensive technologies. This amounts to roughly 25% of the annual GDP of the EU. The Mining and Metals industry would need to take decisive action to achieve the EU’s climate goals, and stakeholders would need to address several hurdles to accelerate the transition. To meet climate targets, the industry must develop and commercialise new low-CO2 technologies within the next 5-10 years.

Kazakhstan is set to host the most significant mining and critical raw materials Forum in Astana

MINEX FORUM – Premier Mining Events March 21, 2023 3:44 pm

The final session of the first day of the forum was devoted to the issues of closure of deposits and reclamation of lands and waters. the Session was held with the support of SRK Consulting (Kazakhstan). According to official data, about 8 thousand fields operate in Kazakhstan today, all of them were discovered in the years of the USSR. But many of the deposits of lead, copper and a number of rare metals are on the verge of depletion and in 10-15 years will be produced. The closure of the fields is associated with operational and social challenges. Following the depletion of minerals and metals, mining companies are responsible for the reclamation of land and water resources, focusing on environmental issues such as biodiversity conservation and restoration of pre-existing ecosystems. This is a technologically complex and expensive process that is usually taken into account in the early stages of mine design and development. The process of closure of deposits in Kazakhstan began relatively recently and practical experience in solving problems is critical to ensuring the sustainable development of the mining industry. In the East Kazakhstan and Karaganda regions, mass closures of city-forming deposits have already begun. It is assumed that in 5-20 years a number of other fields in the east of Kazakhstan will be closed. The closure of enterprises will lead to socio-economic problems that need to be urgently addressed. Mike Beare, Director and Corporate Consultant (Mining), SRK Consulting (Kazakhstan), took part in the discussion of the problems of transition to new requirements for the closure of deposits; Sandugash Abdizhalelova, Consultant Ecologist, SRK Consulting (Kazakhstan) and Nikolai Kirillov, Senior Environmental Consultant, SRK Consulting (Kazakhstan). Then there was a presentation of technological solutions successfully used in the closure of spent fields in Kazakhstan, European countries, and South Africa. Eleanor Widzik-Capehart, Associate Professor, Nazarbayev University spoke about the use of new wireless smart sensors to measure ground movement in quarries and underground mines. Eugene Louppov, Regional Director, Insight Terra presented the experience of monitoring decommissioned tailings ponds. The session was concluded by François du Toit, Consultant Geotechnical Engineer, SRK Consulting (Kazakhstan) with a presentation “TSF monitoring as an assistant in the development of TARP for closure”.

MINEX FORUM – Premier Mining Events April 26, 2022 8:03 am

After the break, a session was held on the use of “Clean” technologies and strategies for the sustainable development of mining and metallurgical enterprises. The session was organised with the support of the Department for International Trade of Great Britain. Environmental, social and governance requirements for the mining and metallurgical industry are becoming more stringent and large-scale. This is facilitated by the decarbonization of the world economy and the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Realizing this, many mining enterprises in Kazakhstan are revising their sustainable development strategies and actively introducing technologies and projects that contribute to reducing environmental impact, reducing emissions and waste and the efficient use of energy and water resources. At the session, British technologies proposed for use in the mining and metallurgical industry were presented. Kevin Porter, Commercial Director of Terra Motion, spoke about the use of InSAR technology to monitor soil movement in the mining industry. Using this method, the company can predict the collapse of tailings dams, monitor the level of contaminated water, prevent environmental disasters, and support asset management and risk assessment in a cost-effective way. Robert Pell, Founder and CEO of Minviro, introduced a new mineLCA technology that allows you to collect real-time data on the environmental impact of products produced by mines, refineries and refineries. Johan Kempe, Business Development Manager at Howden spoke about innovations in mine ventilation equipment. The company has conducted several case studies on how mining companies can find opportunities to reduce operating costs and associated greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining clean air and good working conditions in the mines. Ildar Yamaliev, General Director of Concret Kanvas, gave examples of the use of Concrete Canvas in the mining industry in the CIS countries and around the world. Irek Amirov, Deputy Commercial Director of Aggreko Eurasia, concluded the session with a presentation of effective rental solutions for power generation.

MINEX Forum Coverage
of PDAC

Toronto, 4 March 2024 — In an exclusive interview at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC), MINEX Forum sat down with Evgeny Antonov, Chief Transformation Officer of Navoi Gold (Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company) to learn about the company's remarkable journey and its pivotal role in shaping Uzbekistan's economy. Toronto, Canada - Navoi Gold, one of the largest gold producers globally, was showcasing its growth potential at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention in Canada on 3-6 March 2024. In an interview, the company's Chief Transformation Officer shared insights into their plans for expansion and how they are working towards becoming a more attractive and understandable company for international investors. With an annual production of almost 3 million ounces of gold and a low cost per ounce, Navoi Gold is already a significant player in the gold mining industry. However, the company has no plans to slow down and is aiming to increase its production and resource base further. The company has a robust exploration program in place, with a budget of over $100 million for the year, to identify new targets and deepen their understanding of their flagship mine. The company is also committed to ESG principles and is taking steps to reduce its water consumption by 20% by 2030. Additionally, Navoi Gold is transitioning to renewable energy sources and plans to introduce over 500 megawatts of solar power by 2030. In terms of growth potential, Navoi Gold is looking to expand its production and resource base both organically and through partnerships with other companies. The company is considering teaming up with other companies and exploring new resources outside of their current area of operation, with the aim of becoming a truly international company. When asked about the company's plans for listing on a stock exchange, Antonov explained that it is up to the company's shareholder, which is currently 100% owned by the state, to decide if and when Navoi Gold will become a listed company. However, the company is taking steps to make sure they are fully ready for such a decision, including implementing IFRS reporting standards and recalculating their resource base according to international standards. Navoi Gold's growth plans are aligned with the state's plans to grow the economy by 2030, and the company feels a strong sense of responsibility to contribute to the growth of the Uzbekistan’s economy. As the largest taxpayer and employer in the country, the company is committed to continuing to play a significant role in the economy and to contributing to its growth. Overall, Navoi Gold is a company with a strong track record, ambitious growth plans, and a commitment to ESG principles. With their focus on innovation, technology, and partnerships, they are well-positioned to achieve their goals and become a leading player in the international gold mining industry.

Future Minerals
Forum

We are thrilled to share takeaways from the Future Mineral Forum (FMF) held in Riyadh from January 9-11, 2024. Besides enjoying +27 C and the sun in the middle of January, we were keen to understand the buzz around the Forum and explore major mining trends in the so-called Super Region which refers to a grouping of about 80 countries spanning Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. These countries are rich in traditional minerals and critical raw materials, which are essential for supporting alternative energy, addressing climate change, and reducing carbon emissions.
