To maximise impact and foster innovation across the European raw materials sector, MINEYE actively builds synergies with complementary Horizon Europe and EU-funded projects. These collaborations promote knowledge exchange, interoperability of Earth Observation and digital tools, and alignment of sustainability objectives across the mining value chain. By engaging with sister and synergistic projects, MINEYE strengthens cross-project cooperation, avoids duplication of efforts, and contributes to a coherent ecosystem of data-driven, environmentally responsible, and socially accepted mining solutions.
sister projects
TERRAVISION is a Horizon Europe project uniting 15 partners from seven EU and EEA countries to develop an integrated Earth Observation (EO) Mining Services Platform, enhancing sustainability across the critical raw materials value chain. The platform leverages four innovation pillars: a comprehensive data ecosystem to monitor the raw materials lifecycle, standardized analysis-ready EO data and a spectral library for integration with in-situ data, EO services for exploration, extraction monitoring, and hazard mapping, and green & resilience accountability to quantify environmental and socio-economic impacts. TERRAVISION’s outcomes will complement MINEYE by advancing EO-based solutions for sustainable, efficient, and resilient European mining operations.

synergistic projects
GoldenRAM (G-RAM) is developing an advanced Earth Observation platform that leverages IT, Cloud, AI, and Natural Language Processing technologies to enable accurate information exchange on raw materials across Europe and partner countries. The platform supports mining companies, industry stakeholders, and public actors by improving mineral exploration, production, operations, safety, and environmental impact assessment. By focusing on critical raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements—essential for Europe’s green and digital transition—GoldenRAM strengthens resilient and sustainable CRM value chains. The project’s Earth Observation–based tools align closely with MINEYE by promoting data-driven, cooperative, and sustainable mining practices across Europe. www.goldenram-project.eu
Synergistic Projects
DEXPLORE addresses Europe’s dependence on critical and strategic raw materials from third countries by developing an integrated suite of advanced mineral exploration technologies for the discovery of new mineral deposits. The project targets key materials essential for decarbonisation, including fluorite, copper, nickel, manganese, natural graphite, zinc, lead and molybdenum, within extensive metamorphic and crystalline geological terrains. DEXPLORE combines innovative surface-based methods such as advanced geochemical and optical techniques, UAV-assisted mineral detection and Earth Observation with novel deep-land geophysical technologies capable of exploring depths reaching 600 metres. By integrating new mineral models and advanced visualisation tools, DEXPLORE strengthens Europe’s capacity to identify deep primary resources since Europe can no longer rely on shallow or easily accessible resources. DEXPLORE aims to better learn and “see” underground deeper, more accurately, and more responsibly, while complementing and feeding into MINEYE’s Earth Observation driven, data-fusion approach across the mining value chain. www.dexplore.eu
DINAMINE addresses Europe’s growing need for resilient and sustainable raw material supply by transforming current mining practices through a holistic, digital mine-to-port management approach. The project integrates real-time data analytics, automation and robotisation, and low-carbon processing, logistics, and waste valorisation strategies to improve productivity, safety, and environmental performance. DINAMINE technologies have been demonstrated in two European SMEs: an open-pit feldspar mine in Portugal and an underground graphite mine in Norway. Strongly aligned with MINEYE, the DINAMINE project has developed updateable digital tools supporting shared ambitions of a broader digitalisation in the mining industry and meeting sustainability goals of European mining value chains. www.dinamine-project.eu
MASTERMINE aims to establish the foundation for the green and digital European mine of the future by integrating cutting-edge technologies across six interconnected modules. CYBERMINE drives the digital transformation of EU Mine 4.0, AUTOMINE promotes autonomous and electric operations with smart monitoring, GEOMINE ensures structural safety and stability, GREENMINE improves environmental performance through energy efficiency, air quality, GHG reduction, water savings, and waste valorisation, METAMINE introduces the mining metaverse with digital twins and simulation tools for decision support, and OURMINE fosters social acceptance and community engagement. Through collaboration with partners like Tharsis Mining, MASTERMINE aligns closely with MINEYE by leveraging digital and Earth Observation technologies to enhance sustainability, safety, and operational efficiency across the mining value chain. www.mastermine-project.eu
MOSMIN addresses the environmental and geotechnical challenges associated with mining-related deposits by developing multiscale observation services that enable improved risk identification and resource potential assessment. The project integrates satellite, aerial, and ground-based data to deliver a holistic and continuous monitoring framework for mining waste deposits, supporting safer and more efficient mining operations. By combining advanced Earth observation techniques with in-situ measurements, MOSMIN enhances the ability to detect instabilities, environmental impacts, and opportunities for secondary raw material recovery. In doing so, MOSMIN contributes to more sustainable mining practices and supports informed decision-making across the European mining value chain. www.mosmin.eu
MultiMiner focuses on strengthening Europe’s capacity to identify and manage domestic critical raw material resources through advanced Earth Observation–based mineral exploration and mine-site monitoring. The project combines Copernicus and commercial satellite data with airborne, drone, and in situ measurements, enhanced by innovative machine learning algorithms, to support decision-making across all phases of the mining life cycle, from early exploration to post-closure monitoring. By enabling earlier detection of environmental impacts and improving the efficiency and safety of mining operations, MultiMiner offers low-impact, data-driven solutions that reduce reliance on ground-intensive methods. The project also contributes to long-term resource knowledge by preserving data on currently inaccessible raw material sources, supporting Europe’s transition towards sustainable, responsible, and resilient mining practices. www.multiminer.eu
