AIM 4.0 IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM FOR THE EXTRACTION OF ARMOUR STONE AND MINERALS FROM THE SOLID, MINERAL-RICH ENGEB
WASTE
DEPOSITE
With no waste rock, we do not need any waste deposit which is a big cost to nature
WASTE
ROCK
We utilise all extracted rock for a resource-efficient project
CONFLICTS
We work closely with the local society in developing the project
PERMANENT FOOTPRINT
After we finalise our operation, we bring the nature back to it’s original state
This innovative and highly efficient industrial solution aims to leave no footprint on nature, thus respecting the three sustainable principles on which its philosophy is based:
OPERATION MODEL
INNOVATIVE, RESOURCE EFFICIENT INDUSTRIAL SOLUTION FOR MINERAL EXTRACTION
Our innovative industrial solution, which secures high resource efficiency is tailored to Engeb eclogite resource.
Our solution results in a set of tangible benefits not achievable with conventional operational models.
WE DEVELOP THE PROJECT IN STAGES
Starting with moderate volumes reduces the initial investment and enables a greatly reduced intervention in nature.
Efficient development with moderate volumes enables us to utilise all the rock that we extract for a resource efficient production of rock and industry minerals.
WE WORK IN MODERATE VOLUMES
We begin by entering the resource directly from the fjord and send all the product to Lutelandet industrial park until we have sufficient space underground to move our operation into the mountain.
Our staged developtment greatly reduces construction works above ground, project complexity and environmental impact.
REALISED BENEFITS
MODERN, SUSTAINABLE
MINERAL PRODUCTION
With our operational model, we are able to create a set of tangible benefits to our environment. AIM 4-0 has been heralded by politicians and environmental organisations as an example of sustainable mineral production.
Moderate volumes together with innovative industry solutions enables us to utilise all extracted rock, creating a modern mineral production we can be proud of.
By using our
resources efficiently, we create sustainable industry with zero waste and reduced impact on nature.
WE DO NOT NEED ANY WASTE DEPOSIT NEITHER ON LAND, NOR IN THE FJORD
Our industrial solution has a very limited use of chemicals and does not require releasing toxic chemicals or create emissions of hazardous waste.
With an underground operation, we can close of the entrance and bring the nature back to it’s original state when we close down the operation.
WHEN WE CONCLUDE OUR OPERATIONS THERE WILL BE NO MARKS IN NATURE LEFT
INNOVATION THROUGH COLLABORATION
WE BUILD ON INDUSTRY PARNERSHIPS
We pride ourselves on building close partnerships with our industrial partners. Together we create better and more innovative solutions by leveraging sector competencies and existing infrastructure.
We believe this helps generate long-term value both to the local and wider society.
