Agile Exploration and Geo-modelling for European Critical Raw Materials – Introduction to the AGEMERA project

The supply of European critical raw materials (CRMs) does not currently meet the European demand. This gap is predicted to increase, making Europe even more dependent on outside suppliers. AGEMERA is a project to help tackle this strategic problem by studying CRM sites in Finland, Poland, Spain, the Balkans, and Zambia. We conduct geological studies, develop and deploy novel mineral exploration techniques, use conventional geophysical methods, and apply machine-learning algorithms to process the acquired data. Special attention will be paid to transcrustal-scale geological domain boundaries, which may have acted as major controlling structures during mineralisation. AGEMERA will also enhance public awareness of our need for CRMs.
