4 When it comes to new technologies designed to supply strategic resources to the economy, the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg sets very high standards. The task can only be solved if we manage to secure a stable supply of high tech metals against the backdrop of the challenging situation of global raw materials supply. That’s why we’re not only looking for ways to use the global deposits better. We’re also looking for these metals at our own doorsteps: In the tailings dams of old mines, in scrapyards, and even on the street – and we’re developing the technologies that harness them more effectively despite their low concentration. This creates twice the benefits: Our resource technologies are “Made in Germany”, which is why we trust that they will find acceptance in the global resource industry. And these new technologies also call for new technologists and scientists. We’re training and educating them together with TU Bergakademie Freiberg. “We develop new technolo- gies to make high tech metals available. We’re also educating the technologists together with the TU Bergakademie Freiberg.” Service Portfolio When it comes to strategic resources for the economy, abandoned mines can harbor real treasures. In order to extract them in an economically viable manner, we’re also using the training and research mine managed by the TU Bergakademie Freiberg.
