The mining and battery industry play an increasingly vital role in European industry development, driven by climate concerns and global shifts. The rise of e-mobility escalates the demand for critical raw materials, emphasizing the need to bolster European production capabilities for self-sufficiency. In 2023, Finnish Minerals Group made significant strides in mining and battery industry investment projects across Finland.

The group’s consolidated financial performance showcased promising figures: net sales reached EUR 561.1 million, albeit with a loss of EUR 10.6 million for the financial period. Total assets stood at EUR 1.4 billion. Finnish Minerals Group encompasses several subsidiary companies, including multi-metal firm Terrafame Oy, mining project entity Sokli Oy, and battery value chain project enterprise Finnish Battery Chemicals. The parent company recorded a loss of EUR 3.5 million for the financial period, with total assets amounting to EUR 707.5 million.
