Kickstart PDAC with the seminar on Estonia: Europe’s rare earth elements and innovation hub. Estonia is known globally as the most advanced digital society and established leader in sustainability innovation with the most start-ups per capita. Estonia’s thriving clean tech sector offers advanced solutions for mining technology and significantly enhances efficiency and safety in mining operations.
At the same time, Estonia is home to the largest and only industrial-scale REE separation facility in Europe: NPM Silmet. With its unique rare earth metals production and processing sector, Estonia makes a significant contribution to the secure supply chains of critical raw materials.
- This seminar will feature presentations from Yoko Alender, Estonia’s Minister of Climate; as well as mining experts from government, academia and industry. Attendees will receive first-hand information on the following investment opportunities and projects:
- Europe's rare earth elements hub. Learn more about Estonia’s NPM Silmet rare earth elements separation facility and new NPM Narva permanent magnet manufacturing site.
- The potential of Estonia's critical mineral resources (probably the largest phosphorite deposit in Europe) and future plans related to EU critical mineral strategy.
- Sustainable mining technologies, including biomining and recycling of mineral resources.
- Innovation ecosystem in Estonia: paving the way along the mining value chain.
