Systematic development of Finnish mining
cluster
Finland is a recognized expert of responsible mining that
exports its expertise globally
Tekes Green Mining programme 2011
The Finnish Minerals Strategy 2010. The aims of the strategy
include reducing the environmental impacts of mining
EU Raw Materials Initiative 2008
Concern over the availability of raw materials
Vision 2050: the Finnish Minerals Strategy
Finland will be a global forerunner of the sustainable exploitation
of minerals, and the minerals industry will be one of the
cornerstones of our national economy.

The Finnish mining industry
 Finland is one of the leading countries for producing
mining machinery and enrichment technologies in the
world.
 Finland has an excellent service infrastructure which
allows outsourcing of mine development functions.
 Metal ore production has grown strongly in the past
decade
Green Mining Programme
Finnish Minerals Strategy
Green Mining Program
 Tekes = Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation
 Tekes mining programme that aims to make Finland into a forerunner
of responsible mining globally.
 Duration: 2011–2016
 Budget: EUR 60 million, of which Tekes will contribute about one half.
• Companies: EUR 20 million
• Public research institutes: EUR 10 million

SME export !
Mining is an opportunity
 Significant potential for minerals / high level know how / good infrastructure
New technologies, pilots etc.
 Social licence to operate of mining increases in importance - more
efficient and environmentally friendly production methods are needed
Clean Tech products, processes, services
 The programme supports Finnish SMEs operating in the mining sector and
strives to build up mining related business.

The Green Mining concept
Promotes materials and energy efficiency
Less energy used in process
Renewable energy utilized
Less side rock and wastes
Less water used and discharged
Ensures availability of mineral
resources for future needs
New ore reserves
Advanced exploration techniques
Mineral processing for low grades
Minimizes adverse environmental
and social impacts
Reduce of environmental footprint
and emissions
Maximize positive social impacts
Considering of stakeholder interests
Improves work and organisational practices
Culture of continuous improvement
of safety, quality and environmental
performance of the companies
Ensures sustainable land use
following mine closure
Mine closure plan is started
simultaneously with mine planning
and is updated regularly during the
whole life time of the mine
Green mining from Finnish perspective
Environmentally acceptable
Sustaibable use of raw materials
Net social aspects positive by constructive
communication with stake holders
Economic welllfare to whole the community
Continuous improvement of technical and
management processes
Strong and internationally networked mining cluster
