Description:

Exploration companies and Mining Industry Clusters are pivotal in driving innovation and progress in the mining sector. The first session “Mining Industry (Clusters) and innovations“ delves into leveraging the CRM Act and national plans to expedite action in exploration and extraction. Discussions will revolve around identifying the needs of these clusters, ranging from regulatory to economic aspects. Examples will be provided to structure the session, such as optimizing permit targeting to mitigate time, costs, risks, and environmental impacts. Additionally, the session will explore the necessity for training politicians, decision support for policy-making, and environmental conservation policies. Participants will explore the tools required, including those related to prospectivity, to streamline and enhance mining operations.

The second session “EIS Test sites and Current Mineral Exploration Activities”, will present how EIS industry partners are currently using EIS in their respective test sites to ameliorate their exploration activities, plans, and achieve their CRM objectives. Project partners from mining regionswill share insights on addressing exploration needs and implementing EIS. Potential best practice examples can be highlighted and shared.

In addition, we will present how EIS is partnering with the GSEU – Geological Service for Europe project to strengthen mineral exploration in Europe by providing decision makers and exploration companies tools and knowledge on the CRM geological potential in Europe. Furthermore, experts from junior exploration companies' sustainability and stakeholder departments will discuss their approaches to facilitating stakeholder engagement around exploration projects.

The event will conclude with a quick presentation of the EIS toolkit and wizard, showcasing practical tools and resources to support exploration efforts in the mining sector. Participants will have the opportunity to gain insights into utilizing these tools to enhance their exploration endeavours, ultimately contributing to sustainable and responsible mining practices
