Norwegian miner explores sustainable practices

Norge Mining says its subsidiary, Norge Mineraler AS, will dig into sustainable mining with Betolar in southern Norway.

The parties will collaborate on solutions and technologies in Eigersund, such as better tailings management - to make geopolymer concrete or similar.

'Norge Mineraler has a clear vision to operate the most environmentally friendly and sustainable mine for the critical raw materials vanadium, phosphate and titanium. The cooperation with Betolar is a natural step towards that vision,' says Norge Mineraler AS CEO Olav Skalmeraas.

The partnership could also include reducing wastes at mining sites and finding profitable solutions.
