Mining in Europe is a necessity. That is the opinion of Peter Tom Jones, director of the Institute for Sustainable Metals and Minerals at KU Leuven. He is on a mission for responsible mining in Europe: responsible mining. That is also what the new Critical Raw Materials Act of the European Union aims to do. Five reasons why Europe is ready for a mining renaissance according to metallurg Jones.
