What we do
Ethical and fullytraceable minerals
for the electricrevolution
How we do it
Our focus is to explore and
develop several nickel-cobalt-
copper projects in Europe to
supply raw materials critical to
the expanding electric vehicle
battery market. This puts us in
the center of the fast developing
battery value chain.
Market insights
Projections state that: • By 2040 there will be 500
million passenger EVs and 40 million commercial EVs on roads around the globe
• 57 percent of all passengervehicle sales and 30+ percentof the global passanger vehiclefleet will be electric in 2040
• A vast majority of the transportation sector, includingcars, buses, trucks, ferries and planes will be electrified in the coming decades
The Electric Revolution (EV) is happening right now

The Electric Revolution
• Raw materials such as nickel, cobalt and copper are the most expensive parts of a battery
• Nickel and cobalt demand is growing fast
• Demand for battery grade nickel forecast to increase up to 10x in 10 years
EU and the electric revolution – two main drivers
1. Geopolitically important to focus on raw material sourcing from within the EUDespite the fact that Europe hosts very large automotive industry players, only 2 percent of the batteries needed in the EU are produced within the region
2. Sustainability focus driving local production and sourcing of raw materialThe EU commission has clearly stated that in order to achieve EU’s goal to be climate neutral by 2050, it is of essence that Europe assumes the role of global leader in sustainable battery production
Ethical and sustainability issues
• Majority of all battery minerals extracted outside Europe
• Pollutions due to lack of controland old methods
• Child labour and poor workingconditions
• Lithium mining in Congo compared to blood diamonds

Smart, Sustainable and Safe MINE operations: towards integrated innovative solutions to secure a self-sufficient European raw materials based economy
(S3-MINE)
Programme - Call H2020 SC5-10-2019-2020 “Raw materials innovation actions: exploration and Earth observation in support of sustainable mining”
Type of action Innovation Action (IA) Deadline First stage – 13th February 2020

THE CALLSPECIFIC CHALLENGE
Securing the sustainable access to raw materials, including metals, industrial minerals and construction raw materials, and particularly Critical Raw Materials (CRM), is of high importance for the EU economy. Substitution provides an alternative approach to reduce the EU’s consumption of CRMs and decrease the relative dependence upon imports as well as related adverse environmental impact, and therefore ensures the sustainable supply of critical raw materials to the EU.
The challenge for industry is to scale up promising technologies raw materials production or substitution of critical raw materials, and to demonstrate that raw materials can be produced in an innovative and sustainable way in order to ensure that research and innovation end up on the market, to strengthen the competitiveness of the European raw materials industries, to meet the ambitious energy and climate targets for 2030, to minimise environmental impacts and risks and to gain the trust of EU citizens in the raw materials sector.
This specific challenge addresses a major target of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Raw Materials: the development of "innovative pilot actions"[1] (subtopic c. Mining Pilots).
SCOPE
Actions should develop innovative pilots demonstrating clean and sustainable production or substitution of non-energy non-agricultural raw materials in the EU, finishing at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 6-7.
All actions should contribute to achieving the objectives and targets of the EIP on Raw Materials and to building the EU knowledge base of primary and secondary raw materials by feeding into the EC Raw Materials Information System – RMIS.
Actions should also contribute to improving the awareness of relevant external stakeholders and the general public across the EU about the importance of raw materials for society, the challenges related to their supply within the EU and about proposed solutions which could help to improve society's acceptance of and trust in sustainable raw materials production in the EU, duly taking into account the applicable EU environmental legislation.
All actions should facilitate the market uptake of solutions developed through industrially- and user-driven multidisciplinary consortia covering the relevant value chain and consider standardisation aspects when relevant.
All proposals should justify the relevance of the selected pilot demonstrations in different locations within the EU (and also outside if there is a clear added value for the EU economy, industry and society).
A non-profit organization whose main task is to expand the concept of "development"
in the mining and minerals industry.
The purpose is to ensure that all Europeans benefit from safer traffic, cleaner vehicles and more sustainable technological
solutions. All this will be achieved by creating a competitive and sustainable battery cell manufacturing value chain in Europe.
The primary objective of S3-MINE is the development and implementation of mining pilot programmes at ten different
facilities in six different EU countries. The focus of this partnership is on Mining industry, related industries and
services and global value chains.
Collaboration with two leading universities – Uppsala University and Krakow AGH University of Science &
Technology in Krakow – in efforts to find new ways to recover rare earth elements (REE) from apatite without the
risk of getting unwanted residuals.
The European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) aims to make Europeeconomically more resilient by diversifying its supply chains, creating
jobs, attracting investments to the raw materials value chain, fosteringinnovation, training young talents and contributing to the best enabling
framework for raw materials and the Circular Economy worldwide.
The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) is the answerto a global demand for more socially and environmentally
responsible mining. IRMA offers true independent third-party verification and certification against a comprehensive standard for
all mined materials that provides ‘one-stop coverage’ of the full range of issues related to the impacts of industrial-scale mines.
