This paper deals with the future of mining in Europe but in the framework of a
global pandemic. We have analysed the various prognosis of global growth trends
and the future of mining in Europe, on the basis of the known statistical data of
what has happened so far. Several case studies are included, and a proposal of a
strong EU reaction to really be successful in the plans designed when the Raw
Material Initiative was planned is suggested. The incredible mining potential of
the EU as well as its technological leadership is here presented to demonstrate
that, if politically supported, these can bring back Europe to the leading role
in mining it had in the past.
