1 EUROGEOSURVEYS European Minerals Yearbook as a reporting platform for anthropogenic resource classification Geneva, 24. of April 2018 Zoltán Horváth EGS MREG Classification Task Team & and MINEA WG member Mining and Geological Survey of Hungary Symposium on the availability of raw materials from secondary sources 40 Years Listening to the Beat of the Earth

2 EGS Strategic Vision: towards a European Geological Service

3 European Minerals Yearbook The first official European Minerals Yearbook: 15th October 2015: in Brussels, was launched in the frame of the Raw Materials Diplomacy Dialogue between the EU and advanced mining countries event, organised by the European Commission s DG Grow and Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME). Innovative comprehensive source of minerals statistics Can facilitate the European Union decision-making on investment planning and can be used to benefit the European economy, industrial development and trade and the lives of European citizens. Alongside data for primary minerals, the European Minerals Yearbook includes available data for mineral-based waste generation, treatment and trade. It presents national level statistical data for 40 European countries for the last tenyear period 2004 to All the data are accessible digitally through the European Minerals Knowledge Data Platform and provide the resource potential of primary and secondary mineral sources in Europe.

4 European Minerals Yearbook 65 commodities from primary minerals with a focus on the 20 (later 25) critical raw materials (CRM) for the EU, covering a 10-year span for production and trade. The Yearbook is meant to reduce costs and risks, and secure sustained supplies for European industries in the mining and manufacturing sectors. This database contains detailed production pan- European information. The Yearbook information is intended to be used by public sector bodies in decision making and planning, across Europe. It may help in the conflict management and mineral safeguarding topics in the frame of minerals or land use planinng. The Minerals Yearbook makes the data available at the touch of a button, free of charge, and is an important boost to profitability of the companies that use it.

6 Unique pan-european datasets (mineral deposits, production, trade,...) ProMine mineral deposits database 12,979 records

7 Infrastructure EGDI examples OneGeologyEurope; Surface geology of Europe in 1:1 mil. Using distributed architecture, including ISO19115 metadata and WMS/ WFS (GeoSciML) services Mineral deposits; Compiled and harmonised through a number of projects (ProMine, EuroGeoSources, Minerals4EU) using distributed architectures, ISO, OGC and CGI standards EMODnet-geology; Marine substrate map. Currently in 1: 1 million, but aiming for 1: covering all European waters GEMAS; geochemical mapping of agricultural and grazing land soils of Europe

8 Data service: INSPIRE Responsible authorities including Geological Surveys have to register mineral resources, reserves or endowments with the indication of the reporting codes, classification systems. Insfrastructure data.. Environment data Social data (population) Land Use Data.. Mineral resources This Directive came into force on 15 May Has to implemented in by It addresses 34 spatial data themes needed for environmental applications. This infrastructure enables the sharing of spatial information among public sector organisations, facilitate public access to information across Europe. Based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States of the European Union.

13 Proposal in the Frame of Minerals4EU Foundation EU Minerals Data Service Cluster of the past EURMKB related projects to demonstrate built capacity and its relevance for EU.

14 The cluster as a network of selected projects would: 1. maintain and present its data, information and knowledge, 2. update data, information and knowledge, 3. analyze datasets and information, with an aim to optimize balance between availability and needs, and 4. create optimal structure that would ensure the provision of needed minerals data at the European level.

15 The expected outcomes / products network of past / ongoing projects related to EURMKB portal with data (including maps) and information, support service to analyze data, produce standard products (such as Minerals Year Book), tailor-made products based on data. Next steps: proposals, seek for funding in new calls (H2020, FP9)

16 The poster demonstrates the applicability of harmonization between a national classification system (Russian type), an international reporting code (CRIRSCO-family) and the UNFC for 3 localities of mining wastes in Hungary based on available documents. Recommendations are also indicated for the development of the legislative prescriptions to improve the knowledge on mining wastes, that may facilitate projects for the utilization of potential secondary raw materilas. A case study

17 Summary The European Minerals Yearbook is a powerful tool to provide a much-needed impetus to European resource-demanding economy sectors by means of enhanced documentation and information provision to interested parties on minerals and other raw materials kept in Europe s cellar. European Minerals Yearbook can involve data and information for Anthropogenic Resources mainly with additional improvements (development of the common language for different types of resources, question of confidental and public datasets) This period is favourable for compliting and improve the data infrastructure (exists) and the content (e.g. data quality and quantity) according to the on going specified EU projects, co-operations of relevant parties and the increasing interest.
