Two of the leading lights in global mining and metallurgical research, analysis and reporting have signed a cooperation agreement.


Raw Materials Group (RMG) and Swerea MEFOS will cooperate in the fields of analysis and assessment of metal production and processing from existing or future mining operations. Each company will, as a first option, use the other company’s services in the respective areas of competence.


RMG is a pioneer in mining data compilation and analysis. It started developing Raw Materials Data, its proprietary database in 1985, and this database has evolved to become the most extensive production-side database in the industry. The RMG team includes experienced mineral economists and policy analysts, and uses the database and a global network of contacts to provide clients with in-depth mining research and analysis.


The Swerea Group creates, refines and procures research results within the fields of materials and processes, plus product and production technology. Its objective is to create business benefits for members and customers and to strengthen the capacity for competition and innovation in the Swedish economy. Swerea comprises the Swerea parent company and five research institutes: Swerea IVF, Swerea KIMAB, Swerea MEFOS, Swerea SICOMP and Swerea SWECAST.


RMG Chairman, Professor Magnus Ericsson, noted; “RMG is excited to be involved with such a renowned organisation as Swerea MEFOS. This cooperation agreement solidifies a relationship that not only benefits the two companies involved, but will deliver real business outcomes for our clients and the industry as a whole.”


“I am convinced that the agreement will not only benefit us, but also our customers. By increasing our cooperation with RMG, we will be able to develop our concept further and thereby strengthen our offer.” added Göran Carlsson, CEO Swerea MEFOS
