Outotec and the Geological Survey of Finland have made a partnership agreement for developing collaboration in the research and development of mineral technology.
 
The collaboration will include process development for new ore deposits on the laboratory, mini-pilot, and demonstration-plant scale. It will also target process improvements in existing concentrators. Longer term, the collaboration will also work on developing environmentally-sound and sustainable competences and technologies for minerals processing, in the utilization of by-products and tailings, and in environmental risk management at mines.
