ABSTRACT: bout a century ago, B was recognised as an essential element for the normal growth of plants and terrestrial organisms. Limitations for plant development have been recognised in agricultural systems, particularly in highly weathered soil. Boron is rarely analysed in whole rock or soil analysis, as it requires specific analytical techniques. It is often determined, after partial extraction (aqua regia ...
ABSTRACT: Supply chains are linked for specific purpose and by something. Hence, the respective links of the chain must be hooked in the right place, sufficiently strong, and have to start somewhere. This chapter looks at the raw materials supply chain as the first link in a commodity supply, from the European Union (EU) perspective. Aspects of the raw material potential of critical or strategic mineral resourc...
ABSTRACT: GeoERA Minerals projects have produced data aimed at supporting Europe’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 o...
ABSTRACT: This contribution presents pan-European prospectivity maps for lithium, cobalt, natural graphite, niobium, tantalum, phosphates and rare earth elements that were produced by the GeoERA FRAME project. These maps are based on the cell-based association (CBA) method, which was specifically developed for mineral prospectivity mapping at regional to continental scales. The purpose of this method is to addr...
ABSTRACT: The deliverable D5.4 “Map of Cobalt, graphite, lithium deposits (including deposits where cobalt is a significant by product”, is a technical report for a product where the actual deliverable is a web map and associated data. A description of the data collection, interpretation, description of the geology, metallogeny and resource potential is reported and described in the deliverable D5.3.
ABSTRACT: The present report describes the mineral prospectivity maps that were produced by the work package (WP) 3 of the FRAME project. These prospectivity maps assess the favourability in Europe, at continental scale, for lithium, cobalt, natural graphite, phosphate, niobium, tantalum and rare earth elements. They are based on datasets produced by the FRAME project (WP4 for phosphate, WP5 for lithium, cobalt...
ABSTRACT: The overall aim of FRAME project into the European Union Raw Materials Knowledge Base (EURMKB) is to provide data on CRM by extending the spatial coverage and higher accurate data from past and ongoing European projects on raw materials. The prime aim of work package (WP)3 in the FRAME project is to produce a map of strategic and critical raw materials (SCRM) for Europe. In cooperation with other FRAM...
ABSTRACT: The deliverable D.5.5 “Relevant metallogenetic maps”, is a technical report for a product where the actual deliverable is a web map and accompanying data. A description of the data collection, interpretation description of the geology, metallogeny and resource potential is done in the deliverable D5.3 and references therein.
