Project wants to bring the recovery of valuable materials from mining dumps ahead
The extraction of mineral materials from mining dumps is the focus of another project from the funding program "r ³ - Innovative Technologies for Resource Efficiency - Strategic Metals and Minerals" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In Prof. Jens Gutzmer from the Department of Economic Geology and Petrology led project "SMSB - obtaining strategic metals and other minerals from Saxon mining dumps" are examined landfills on Saxon territory on its contents at strategic metals. The Technical University of Freiberg receives 910,000 euros of funding for the project by the federal government.

mineral resources are scarce for buyers
Resource scarcity is forcing humanity to reconsider
Recent report by the International Resource Panel of the UNEP draws on substantial research by the Institute for Social Ecology, Klagenfurt.
The United Nations Environment Program is today, 9th May 2011 in Geneva, its latest report on resource consumption and environmental consequences before. The authors Marina Fischer-Kowalski (Institute for Social Ecology, Alpen-Adria University, Austria) and Mark Swilling (University of Stellenbosch, South Africa) come to the conclusion that further economic growth at the same rate as before by the cost of resource consumption can walk plant biomass, fossil fuels, metals, industrial materials and building materials.
By 2050, mankind is annually 140 billion tons of minerals, ores consume fossil fuels and biomass per year. This is three times as much as the current consumption. These values are valid, if economic growth continues in the same extent as before the intended use of resources.
