The EU Raw Materials Week will this year take place between 18-22 November in Brussels. As a strong voice for the European mining and metallurgy regions, MIREU will of course participate in the event.
The increasing demand for metals used in the production of electric cars, such as tin and lithium, has led to a renewed interest in the deposits in the MIREU partner region Cornwall in the UK.
Several MIREU partner regions have partnered up in a Smart Specialisation partnership focusing on the mining industry, related industries and services and global value chains.
The PDAC 2019 convention was held in Toronto this March with over 25,800 attendees from 132 countries. MIREU was also present to inform the convention participants of our network of EU mining and metallurgy regions.
