uneven distribution of water resources and population. Demand is high around urban centers, and twothirds of the 493 million people in the European Union (EU) lives in urban areas (compared to 81% in the US). This puts Europe's urban population at 325 million and the US's urban population at 243 million.
Mineral resources are not plentiful in Switzerland. Granite, limestone, other building stones, and salt are the only abundant mineral resources with commercial value. Small deposits of iron and manganese ores also are found. About 11 percent of Switzerland's land is used for agriculture, while another 30 percent is covered by forests.
Avrupa Minerals is a growthoriented junior exploration and development company focused on aggressive exploration, using a modified prospect generator model, for valuable mineral deposits in politically stable and prospective regions of Europe, including Portugal, Kosovo, and Germany.
Detail of critical mineral raw materials. Copper. Use: electronics, jewelry. Proven resources: 630 million tons. Annual production: 16 million tons. Reserves: 38 years. The "red metal", very malleable and a very good conductor of electricity; it allowed humankind to leave the Stone Age behind.
Investment. Spain has one of Europe's most diverse mining industries, which produces most of the industrial minerals. Owing to the gold reserve discoveries at the El ValleBoinas and Carles deposits in northern Spain, highly prospective geology, and the Rio Narcea Belt, the country has attracted many foreign investors.

WP2 took mineral resource evaluation to a new level by applying 4D modelling to four mineralised belts in Europe. A better understanding of the evolution through time (the 4th dimension) means mining industry is able to predict new ores with greater accuracy, .
mineral endowment and the implementation of a PanEU predictive resource assessment, and thus to provide a renewed picture of European metallogeny. To reach this objective, ProMine work package 1 produced panEuropean databases of primary and secondary mineral resources, the ProMine Mineral Deposit (MD) and Anthropogenic Concentration (AC) databases.
The Romanian National Agency for Mineral Resources has endorsed the mining licence for the Rovina Valley project and has initiated the ratification process, TSXlisted Euro Sun reported on Thursday.
PanEuropean collaborative research aim at a sustainable supply of mineral resources to the downstream European industries, also taking into account the decoupling of economic growth from adverse environmental impacts.
The European Technology Platform on Sustainable Mineral Resources (ETP SMR) Mission is to develop longterm European Minerals Industries Research and Innovation agendas and roadmaps for action at EU and national level.

The Mineral Resources Investment Division strives to ensure a stable supply of highquality mineral resources to global markets through management of mineral resources related assets such as coking coal, copper, iron ore, thermal coal, aluminum, uranium, and stainless steel raw materials in various countries, including Australia, Chile, Peru, Canada, Mozambique, and South Africa.
As an exhaustive inventory of mineral wastes in Europe was far beyond the scope of the project, ProMine focused on major anthropogenic concentrations ( mining and ore processing wastes) and on the most interesting in terms of volume/tonnage and content ( possible presence of critical metals).
mineral resources (nonmetallic) A raw material qualifying as a 'mineral resource' is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the earth's crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
It is a new dataset that compiles homogeneous and thorough information on primary mineral resources in Europe (12,979 records, covering 34 countries).
