Important results from the project
SIMS-ECO contributes to increased access to primary and secondary raw materials, in particular critical raw materials, by developing and demonstrating break-through concepts of autonomous extraction that is digitally integrated with downstream mineral processing. SIMS-ECO will allow operations at greater depths, verify the industrial viability of the technologies in pilot demonstrations, improve safety, and minimize the environmental footprint of the mining industry to strengthening diversification of EU sourcing.
