FAB — in the Asso­ci­a­tion of Raw Mate­ri­als and Min­ing e.V., Berlin, is a net­work of Ger­man com­pa­nies that are active in raw mate­r­i­al extrac­tion and relat­ed fields abroad or intend to get involved there in the future. The FAB forms the plat­form for infor­ma­tion and exchange of expe­ri­ence about raw mate­r­i­al man­age­ment activ­i­ties. Due to the exper­tise of our mem­bers with a strong focus on sus­tain­able min­ing in Ger­many, the com­mon goal is to apply this expe­ri­ence also in min­ing abroad. The spec­trum ranges from explo­ration to project devel­op­ment to raw mate­r­i­al extrac­tion.
