Our focus & priorities
This is a nascent industry in Norway, a country that is sitting on large, untapped mineral deposits, according to investigations so far. We are focusing our efforts on three high worldwide demand resources: vanadium, phosphate and titanium.
Considerate mining is at the core of our business model – in collaboration and constant communication with local neighbourhoods. Using innovation and technology, we aim to minimise any environmental impact. What’s more, some of the minerals we are sourcing will greatly contribute to a more sustainable global future.
There is no affordable clean energy without viable storage capacity for renewables. V-flow batteries will play a vital role in our circular economies of the future. They are non-flammable, compact, reusable over semi-infinite cycles and have a lifespan of more than 20 years. We are excited to be a part of helping bring them to the world.
Norway is a pro-mining country. As it diversifies from oil and gas, it’s looking to its other natural resources for income – and we are proud to be leading the charge on investigating vital minerals and metals in the region. All our work is carried out in a mindful way, that’s respectful to the surrounding people and the land.
We are proving that mining can be clean and green, thanks to innovative ways of extracting materials from the ground with minimal impact on the land. We are also helping fuel a new industry in Norway, creating infrastructure for the economic benefit of its people and entirely new ways of exploring minerals that will propel our sustainable revolution forward.
We are investigating what we understand to be vast deposits of vanadium and phosphorus in Norway. These EU ‘Critical Raw Materials’ are needed for our lower carbon transition. Phosphate fertilisers provide a more natural way to help feed the world, while vanadium batteries are powerhouses when it comes to renewable energy storage.
Nitrogen-based fertilisers trigger the release of nitrous oxide (N2O) – a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. It’s particularly potent as it’s over 300 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. While lithium-ion batteries contain toxic heavy metals and are hard to recycle. They are part of a chain of irresponsible consumption and production. Natural phosphate fertilisers and long-lasting vanadium batteries help solve these conundrums.
Climate action is at the heart of what we do. We are investigating raw minerals that are on the European Union’s Critical Raw Material list, because they are vital to our greener future, but their supply is at risk. Vanadium batteries will be able to store the vast quantities of renewable energy – needed in the move away from carbon. While phosphate fertilisers are the most natural way to feed our ever-growing global population.
While we need to drill holes in the ground to extract Critical Raw Materials needed for a greener future, we will also invest in a renaturation programme and no chemicals will be used in our investigations. We will also minimise any impact to the land and its biodiversity, by carrying out extensive aero-magnetic surveys before we go underground. We are in touch with the local green party and all surrounding communities.
