The final consortium meeting of the EU funded Horizon2020 New EXploration Technologies (NEXT) project, organized on 16 September 2021, invited IRMCo to ship 100 copies of the Practical Toolkit addressed to Mineral Exploration and Mining Companies to the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). GTK will then ensure the onward distribution of the Toolkit to the partners in the NEXT consortium as well as to other interested parties.

The NEXT Toolkit, which has been edited by Dirk De Ketelaere and Anna Spiteri, has since also been made publicly accessible, and can be downloaded from the NEXT project website through this link.

The Toolkit collects all of the technological advances on mineral prospective mapping as well as the outcomes from the research activities on the Social License to Explore theme of the NEXT project in the form of write-ups in an easy-to-grasp language.
