The demand for Critical Raw Materials (CRM) is increasing due to the need decarbonize economies and transition a sustainable low-carbon future achieving climate goals. To address this, European Union investing in discovery of new mineral deposits within its territory. S34I project (Secure Sustainable Supply EU Industry) developing Earth observation (EO) methods support this goal. This study compares performance two satellites, Sentinel-2 Landsat-9, exploration geologically distinct areas...
Antimony (Sb) has gained significance as a critical raw material (CRM) within the European Union (EU) due to its strategic importance in various industrial sectors, particularly textile industry for flame retardants and component of Sb-based semiconductor materials. Moreover, Sb is emerging potential alternative anodes used lithium-ion batteries, key element Energy transition. This study focused on exploring feasibility identifying quantifying mineralizations through spectral signature soils...

Santa Marta Beach (170 m long) is located in the Vigo Estuary, Rias Baixas, NW Spain. Metamorphic and intrusive rocks predominate area these are a good source of placer minerals. Placer deposits occurrences ilmenite, zircon, garnet, monazite other heavy weathering resistant minerals, rich critical raw materials, have been previously described Baixas. <br/> The aim this study is: to better identify quartz veins pegmatitic dykes granitoids by mapping; delineate areas coastal placers with...
The S34I (Secure Sustainable Supply of Raw Materials for EU Industry) project aims to enhance European autonomy in raw materials production by prototyping Earth Observation (EO) methods, which can support the multiple-phase approach exploration and mining industry. present study explores two ensemble machine learning algorithms based on decision trees, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) Random Forest (RF), predict alteration zones associated with Copper-Cobalt-Nickel mineralisation...
The Rias Baixas region in southwestern Galicia, Spain, is geologically significant for its heavy-mineral placer deposits, which include critical raw materials such as Ti, Sn, Li, Rare Earth Element (REE), Au, Nb, and Ta. These are strategically important to the European Union. Geologically, part of Galicia Trás-os-Montes Zone, characterised by a complex fracture system. Structural mapping Ria de Vigo was conducted using Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, processed on cloud-based...
To achieve sustainable development goals, it is crucial to ensure the best practices through whole mining cycle of Critical Raw Materials (CRM) used in high-tech, low-carbon goods (batteries, wind turbines, electronics). This aim Secure and Sustainable Supply for EU Industry (S34I) Horizon Europe (HE) project that began on January 1st, 2023. S34I investigating new data-driven methods analyze Earth Observation (EO) data, supporting systematic mineral exploration (and other) activities...
The granulometric dispersion is an important element in the constitution of fluvial systems, since processes that determine are same act by molding shape and geometry channels influence relief.When a landscape simulated using Landscape Evolution Model (LEM), only topographic surface commonly generated, case river system, visualization distribution deposits may be necessary to better understand behavior trends this system.In work we propose model particle size systems based on Shear Stress...
