About mineral processing and extractive metallurgy
Learn about the main highlights and the European context of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy
Since the mid-2000s, many European Countries, including the EU, have realised how dependent they have become on foreign imports to access…
Our mission
PROMETIA is an international non-profit association promoting innovation in mineral processing and extractive metallurgy for mining and recycling of raw materials.
The Association aims to strengthen European technical skills and industrial know-how in raw materials processing and support industrial and economic development…
Our activities
Developing a strong network is essential, whether you work in industry or research.
The PROMETIA association gathers industries, SMEs, research organisations and academia covering all the skills and Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) from the mineral processing to the extractive metallurgy (hydro and pyro) domains.
