Resumé

Mineral raw materials are indispensable! This statement applies in everyday life as well as in health care, in the implementation of the energy transition or for national defence.

A responsible supply from domestic sources is a key element for reliable and future-oriented raw material security in Europe. Verified data and coherent information on raw materials, mines, deposits and resources – also across political borders - form the basis for sound and resilient decisions. Forty national and regional geological services and marine research institutes exchanged expertise and information to provide an improved EU raw materials database on European onshore and offshore resources.

The monograph "GeoERA Raw Materials - the past and the future” - gives an insight into GeoERA's four scientific raw materials projects - EuroLithos, FRAME, MINDeSEA and MINTELL4EU and their main products, results and further work. However, such information is a snapshot and continues to require constant updating and improvement.

note = "Disclaimer: GeoERA Minerals projects have produced data aimed at supporting Europe{\textquoteright}s minerals sector and to assist the European Commission to realise its goals for raw materials. Data has been compiled on mineral occurrences and mineral provinces across Europe, in particular, areas with potential to host Critical Raw Materials. Anecdotal evidence from the minerals sector provides an indication of the likelihood of exploration leading to mine development. For every 1,000 mineral showings examined, only 100 may receive further exploration work and of those 100, only 10 may warrant more detailed sampling either through trenching, drilling or other means and of those 10 only 1 may proceed to an evaluation through a full feasibility study which itself has only 50% chance of being positive. Following this, any project for which a mine proposal is made must undergo a full evaluation and permitting by authorities including full public consultation. The proposal may or may not pass this scrutiny. In terms of a schedule, the generally accepted minimum time frame from discovery to production is 10 years and usually much more, up to 20 years. Information presented in GeoERA projects have been sourced from databases and information from mapping and exploration campaigns of individual Geological Survey Organisations and have been compiled to the best of our knowledge and in accordance with best practice guides. GeoERA does not claim to be exhaustive, in terms of geographical coverage, nor does it replace a professional or entrepreneurial exploration campaign for project identification and/ or development. Any individual deposit or areas identified in any GeoERA report, should not be taken to be a location with proven potential or to be taken as a recommendation for additional investigation. Nonetheless, GeoERA has identified areas with potential, particularly for Strategic and Critical Raw Materials. This information may be useful for investment decision-making, which may lead to future mining activities, subject to the identification of an economic deposit and the receipt of all permits. Follow-up of individual deposits or areas identified in GeoERA projects, by entrepreneurs and/ or mining enterprises is required to prove the existence of an economic deposit and should only be undertaken by those knowledgeable of the risks involved. It is GeoERA{\textquoteright}s opinion that the very ambitious target of the European Commission to realise new raw material projects by 2025 can only be achieved if projects have already received the necessary permits (early 2022).",
