German Mining and Resources Network

The German Mining & Resources Network consists of eight international Competence Centres for Mining and Mineral Resources co-located with the respective bilateral German Chambers (AHKs) in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Ghana, Peru, Southern Africa, Central Asia and the German-Mongolian Business Association, the German Mineral Resources Agency (DERA) in the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), and Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI). The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) funds and supports the activities of the network. The Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) has a coordinating role. The German Mining Network is a platform for German companies and institutions dealing with mineral resources nationally and internationally. Through its unique structure, and with its combined competence of its members and partners, the network aims to support the sustainable long-term resource supply security for German companies and boost German exports internationally.
