How do designation areas (i.e., national parks) may restrict exploration/extraction of commodity x in region/country x? Which raw materials are critical for the EU and why? Where could we possibly find a new deposit (size and location)? Where can we find new deposits of a specific commodity in specific geographic area? Which minerals will become critical in 30 years and where can we find them? What are new main primary and waste sources of In, PGMs, Ga, Ge? What is the mineral endowment of commodity x in Europe? How much waste is generated by mining commodity x at location y? How much is expected to be reused or recycled? How to launch an exploration campaign for a commodity X in an unknown region? How much is being invested in exploration for commodity/metal x? How to make a geological map? What kinds of geological maps do exist?
