Mining Finland is a non-profit and membership fee funded association promoting export of Finnish mining technology, promoting foreign investments to Finnish mining cluster and facilitating R&D and education collaboration among mining sector actors working in Finland or in cooperation with Finnish companies.

Mineral resources are crucial for success in a changing world. National measures, alongside EU measures, are required to ensure mineral supplies for green transition. Finland's bedrock has rich mineral endowment and potential to develop its minerals-based value chains. This presentation provides insights into past key measures for promoting sustainable growth in the minerals sector.

Presentation will outline key factors to illustrate where most mining companies will achieve real value from AHS (Autonomous Haulage System) and challenges we have seen along our journey. 

The presentation focuses on Epiroc’s commitment to drive the productivity and sustainability transformation in mining industry, Zero emision future mining solutions. 

Sustainability and circular economy is becoming increasingly important to both OEMs and end users in the Mining industries. Pressure is coming regularly from several directions such as investors, NGOs and communities near mine sites to improve the CO2 footprint. We want to convey how SKF supports mining companies in terms of their sustainability targets and circular economy efforts through remanufacturing services and engineered products.

The presentation includes SANDVIK's electrification solutions and strategies for a more sustainable, more economical and greener mining operation. It contains brief information about Sandvik’s truck and loader models offerings with the innovative battery technology.

Material handling is a major emission source in the mining industry due to fossil fuels and/or electricity consumption. A case study for a coal mine in Türkiye highlighted the potential reduction of GHG emissions by using discrete event simulation for haul trucks. The change in the mine plan and an optimal truck fleet resulted in considerably decreased fuel usage and traffic on the mine roads aiding the mitigation of GHG emissions.

Robit sheds light on the urgent need for sustainable practices and the role we all play in shaping a better future. By optimizing the drilling operation with quality product, it is possible to reduce energy consumption and increase rate of penetration and thus drilling efficiency with sustainable future.
