Engaging presentation (hashtagminexeurope) by Frank Browning, Principal Resource Geologist at SLR Consulting, on how innovation across the entire mining cycle — from exploration to rehabilitation — is essential to tackling Europe’s raw material challenges.
Frank emphasized that achieving true raw material independence requires not only discovering new deposits but also optimizing every stage of the mining process. This means integrating advanced geoscience, digital tools, and sustainable practices to unlock resources responsibly and efficiently.
His message was clear:
Innovation is not a single step in the mining process — it’s the thread that connects them all.
