DMT MiningForum 2026
Beak presents “DeepBEAT – Deep Exploration in the Erzgebirge”
18th – 19th June 2026, Berlin (Germany)
Beak Consultants GmbH is looking forward to participate in the “MiningForum 2026”, organized by DMT under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, taking place on 18th and 19th June 2026 at Estrel Berlin with the theme “Raw Materials Momentum”.
The MiningForum is the leading international conference for the mining and raw materials sector in Germany and a central networking platform for the industry. The two-day event brings together leading international experts, decision-makers and leaders in Berlin to discuss the most pressing challenges and opportunities for a stable long-term supply of raw materials. In view of the growing demand for raw materials and increasingly fragile supply chains, the focus is shifting to securing a sustainable supply.
Visit us at Booth 21 to discuss our current work in mineral exploration, 3D geological modelling, mineral prospectivity mapping and data-driven solutions for the raw materials sector.
On 18th June, Andreas Knobloch from Beak Consultants GmbH will present: “DeepBEAT – Deep Exploration in the Erzgebirge Boosted by Advanced Exploration Technologies”
- Session: Exploration for accelerating the raw materials turnaround
- Time: from 16:00 CEST
- Room: B
The “DeepBEAT” project is funded by Horizon Europe and coordinated by the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF). It will advance geochemical methods for the identification of deep-seated mineral deposits, propelling Europe to the forefront of scientific innovation in the field.
The aim of the project is to develop an interdisciplinary, holistic, and sustainable exploration approach that combines deep geochemical knowledge with geology and geophysics. The research and innovation developments have the potential to push the limits of surface geochemical exploration to another level. They comprise a) new insights to ultra-high resolution analytical chemistry; b) increasing sampling strategy efficiency; c) introducing ground-breaking new concepts of dealing with elemental measurement data; d) reducing exploration costs by sample selection; e) testing novel phyto-geochemical media; and f) introducing UAV assisted biogeochemical sampling.
The project consortium consists of eight partners and five associated partners from Germany, Finland, France, Czech Republic, and Canada. Three test sites with different deposit types were chosen to conduct the research: 1) Volcanic massive sulphide mineral system at Saramäki, Finland; 2) Granite-porphyry related Li-Sn-W mineral system at Erzgebirge-Krušné hory area, Germany/Czech Republic; and 3) Alkaline metasomatite REE-Zr-Mo mineral system at Hůrky, Czech Republic.

We look forward to meet you in Berlin!
