This project aims to enhance the exploration of critical raw materials found in alkaline rocks and carbonatites in Europe. By utilizing advanced mineralogy and geophysical techniques, it seeks to improve predictions of mineral deposits, thereby supporting local industries and promoting sustainable resource management.
Five of the 20 raw materials identified by the European Commission as critical are commonly found in association with alkaline rocks and carbonatites (heavy and light rare earth elements, niobium, fluorspar, and phosphate).
Other elements increasingly important for ‘hi-tech’ applications, and found in these rocks include hafnium (Hf), tantalum (Ta), scandium (Sc) and zirconium (Zr).
In fact, there is a greater chance of a carbonatite complex having resources economic to mine than any other rock…
