  • Broad Overview Reputation of Mining and Exploration
    INFACT DELIVERABLE D2.3 BROAD OVERVIEW REPUTATION OF MINING AND EXPLORATION Summary: This study analyses the reputation and attitudes towards mining and mineral exploration in the three reference countries of INFACT Project (Spain, Finland and Germany) and in leading mining countries based on literature review. The report reflects the difference in availability of literature on this matter between Finland and the other reference countries, mainly explained by differences in the evolution and development of the mining sector over the last decades. Mineral exploration is inherently perceived as a prior stage of mining production itself. The general acceptance of mining in Europe is slightly positive, being higher in traditional mining regions. The main factors laying out mining reputation or acceptance are the trust in public governance over mining companies, the potential negative environmental impacts perceived and the fairness of wealth distribution within local communities.

  • Wolfram Aus Dem Sächsischen Erzgebirge / Tungsten From
    65: 1 – 18 2019 © Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, 2020. Wolfram aus dem sächsischen Erzgebirge Tungsten from Saxonian Erzgebirge, Germany Heinz Schulz † Revision accepted November 20, 2015. Published online at www.senckenberg.de/geologica-saxonica on April 3, 2020. Kurzfassung Nach von England ausgehender Verwendung von Wolfram begann um 1860 im Osterzgebirge die Nutzung vordem in Versatz oder Schla- cken verbliebener Wolframinhalte. Im Raum Zinnwald erlangte Wolframit rasch wirtschaftliche Bedeutung und sicherte den Erhalt der Bergbaubetriebe. Mit der Entwicklung von Wolframerzeugnissen für die Metallbearbeitung sowie von Glühfäden in Leuchtmitteln stieg der Bedarf und erreichte im Ersten Weltkrieges einen ersten Höhepunkt. Die Folge war der Aufschluss weiterer Vorkommen im Westerz- gebirge und die Gewinnung von Wolfram aus Schlacken der Zinnverhüttung. Ein weiterer Höhepunkt folgte ab Mitte der 1930er Jahre, wobei sich der Schwerpunkt auf die westerzgebirgischen Lagerstätten verla- gerte. Die letzte Wolframitgrube (Pechtelsgrün) stellte den Betrieb 1969 ein, während die Gewinnung als Nebenkomponente in Altenberg und Ehrenfriedersdorf bis 1990 erfolgte. Von 1865 bis 1990 wurden im Osterzgebirge 2.600 t aus Zinn-Wolfram- und 4.400 t Wolframmetall aus den Wolframitquarzganglager- stätten des Westerzgebirges ge wonnen. Dazu kommen noch ca. 500 t Wolfram aus Schlacken der Zinnverhüttung. In der Summe wurden im genannten Zeitraum wolframhaltige Rohstoffen (Erze und Schlacken) mit einem Inhalt von ca. 7.500 t Wolframmetall gewonnen. Damit ist das Ressourcenpotential des Erzgebirges nicht erschöpft, das nach neueren Bewertungen mit 95.000 t angegeben wird. Scheelitvorkommen sind nicht berücksichtigt, da deren großtechnische Aufbereitung noch nicht gelöst ist. Abstract The usage of Tungsten began in the middle of 19th century. The market was primarily driven by the metallurgy for advanced tools and the fastly growing bulb industry.

  • Nature in the Eastern Ore Mountains / Ost-Erzgebirge / Východní Krušnohoří
    Nature in the Eastern Ore Mountains / Ost-Erzgebirge / Východní Krušnohoří A short introductory guide to the Schellerhau conservation training Jens Weber, Grüne Liga Osterzgebirge e.V., [email protected] Diversity might be among the most obvious traits of the scenery in the eastern part of Erzgebirge/Ore Mountains/Krušnohoří. The variety of landscape is mostly made up by an alternation of forests and open spaces on relatively small scales, and the open spaces interspersed with lots of wooded and non-wooded biotopes. In contrast to other mountain ranges of Central Europe, only about 30 % of the region are compact forests. Very typical - and of great conservation value - are meadows, crossed by stone ridges ("Steinrücken"). This sort of landscape diversity offers room for biodiversity, too. The Eastern Ore Mountains are home for nearly 1000 species of vascular plants, about one quarter of plant species in all of Germany. A few of them have their only German occurrence here since the climate conditions resemble more those in central-east European mountain ranges. Because of their natural rarity, but far more because of rapidly changing ecological conditions, about 20 % of the plants got listed in the Red List of Endangered Species. Other groups of organisms show similar numbers: > 1000 species of fungi in the Eastern Ore Mountains (180 species on the Red List), 100 spp. butterflies (60 Red List), 130 spp. birds (40 RL), 60 spp. mammals (20 RL). To save the endangered plant and animal species requires conservation of the great diversity of habitats - created by geological history as well as human land use history.

This tradition of deliberation is extraordinarily multifaceted. It extends from the ‘Berggeschrey,’ or mining clamour, of the silver boom during the Renaissance, through the discovery of uranium in the English year 1792 and the tapping of the lignite deposits to the cessation of uranium mining and—most recently—to the founding of a ‘World Forum of Universities of Resources on Sustainability—an initiative of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. It ranges from the early forest ordinances of Electoral Saxony, through the establishment of the Tha- randt Forest Academy in 1811 to the Dauerwald (continuous cover forest) concept of the 1920s and the more recent surveys of new types of forest damage.

  • Skills and Research for the Mining of the Future
    Skills and Research for the Mining of the Future Wednesday, 10 October 2018, 11:30 - 13:30 Saxony Liaison Office Brussels, Avenue d’Auderghem 67, 1040 Brussels Until recently, mining was a synonym for the industrial crisis of “old” Europe. Mine shafts became a part of our industrial heritage and a reminder for a vanished tradition. But the times have changed: Beyond coal and steel today mining in Europe plays a more and more important role in securing access to important raw materials for the future. But where are the experts for the mining of tomorrow? What is necessary in research to assure that Europe can explore important raw materials on its own territory? We want to discuss these and other issues with experts from the DGs Grow, EAC and RTD as well as representatives from other mining regions and academic institutions in Europe. Copyright: TU BAF In Saxony expertise in mining dates back to the “Großes Berggeschrey” (great mining clamour) at the end of the Middle Ages, when silver was found in the Saxon Ore Mountains. In 1765, the Bergakademie Freiberg was founded, then the first and only university dedicated to mining and metallurgy. Today, the Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg is the University of Resources with a focus on a sustainable material and energy economy in research and education along with the four core fields geo, material, energy and environment.
