Background – EIP SIP European Innovation Partnership, Strategic Implementation Plan (EIP SIP),
2013 Priority areas: Raw materials research and innovation coordination Technologies for primary and secondary raw materials production Substitution of raw materials Improving Europe's raw materials framework conditions, knowledge base
and infrastructure Improving Europe's waste management framework conditions and
excellence Knowledge, skills and raw materials flows
Action area nII.8: European Union Raw Materials Knowledge Base (EURMKB) Minerals4EU responds fully on the goals of EURMKB!!!
International cooperation

Background – why Minerals4EU?
Current situation regarding the minerals raw materials data availability is variable within Europe Data scattered amongst a variety of institutions, including governmental agencies, universities,
NGOs and industry.
National Surveys hold national databases, but great variation between them: different content, different systems, methodologies, not standardized,
National systems are not always interoperable different rules on accessibility, confidentiality issues
Products – databases of past EU funded projects are not necessarily maintained or updated – public money wasted ??!!!

Background – why Minerals4EU?
Past and ongoing projects (e.g. EGDI-Scope, EuroGeoSource, ProMine, EURARE, Minventory) present significant steps in the right direction of the raw materials intelligence, but there are still a number of barriers that need to be addressed: no raw materials knowledge infrastructure at EU level no legal framework or EU institution with formal responsibility for mineral
intelligence accessibility of national mineral information is governed by national legal
frameworks while EU geological surveys have a strong network in place, important
information needed to monitor the issues of critical raw materials and to identify priority actions are held by other organisations

What is needed?
a complete and reliable knowledge base as well as a supply and demand foresight and statistical information on raw materials for a proper policy making to ensure an adequate access to raw materials.
a sustainable network to facilitate access to these resources and to promote collaboration among experts;

Minerals4EU – goals
Minerals4EU is designed to meet the recommendations of the Raw Materials Initiative and to make fundamental contribution to the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials – will offer continuity and stability!!
Minerals4EU will provide the most extensive data and high-quality knowledge-based products on mineral resources and their utilisation: Permanent EU Mineral Intelligence network The most comprehensive European Minerals Yearbook INSPIRE compliant EU Minerals Knowledge Data Platform Forward looking analysis on minerals supply and demand in Europe - Foresight

Impacts of Minerals4EU Transparency: ensures harmonised data for all of Europe that will be available
in one place. Should make Europe a more attractive area of investment for mineral
resources industry The network will be maintained following the project lifetime thereby
ensuring a continuity of the benefits arising from new mineral resources data becoming available in the future.
Policy making decisions on the European level would become more transparent with such a database to use as reference in relation to the needs of society.

Technical choices – the diffusion system
The EU-MKDP Web Portal
An Editorial: latest news of the EU-MKDP and information on the use of the web portal. A Map Viewer will present the data inside the Diffusion Database, and will allow the user to combine them with other data (geological map, consumption area...). This Map Viewer will support INSPIRE View Services, will propose a predefined layers list, a metadata catalogue dedicated to Minerals4EU (MICKA), a connection to other catalogues (One Geology-Europe, INSPIRE...) and external layers (OGC WMS). Some of the basic (statistics, reports...) and dedicated services will be integrated in the Map Viewer. The Search facilities will allow the user to search in the Diffusion Database, in some other databases (manually plugged into the Indexation Engine) and in documents added to the EU-MKDP using a dedicated interface. The user will be able to search (i) using full text or (ii) using a specific interface dedicated to the concept he is looking for. It will be possible to refine all these searches by adding a location (Diffusion Database, documents or both).

What do we bring? Are we in competition with other Internet data providers?
Most of the Internet data providers collect, standardize and disseminate all relevant corporate, financial, market and M&A data — plus news and analysis — for industries like metals & mining.
We are partly dealing with the same data (e.g., project/mine status, exploration, production and grades, reserves and resources…) but our goal is to provide the investor, the decision-maker or the stakeholder with the capability (i) to produce in a seamless way his own analysis combining several types of data and (ii) to search for and exploit pertinent syntheses (e.g., the e-Minerals Yearbook [WP4] and foresight studies [WP6]).
We are covering the whole value chain, putting notably at the end user disposal all the geological and metallogenic knowledge necessary to evaluate ongoing mining projects (potential of the area, potential of development…) No competition, but complementarity
