“So far, the Network has enabled an important exchange of
views between the key stakeholders that are directly affected
by the mining industry. It has been a successful exercise as
these discussions have led to new efforts to find common
ground in mining activities.”
- Eero Yrjö-Koskinen,
Finnish Association for Nature Conservation

“The mining network is important as it brings together key
stake-holders to discuss and address challenges in the Finnish
mining industry. Through working together, stakeholders learn
about and begin to understand each others points of view, and
it brings us closer to being able to set rules that everyone can
live with.”
- Joanna Kuntonen Van’t Riet, Anglo-American Exploration
