This year’s Greek Raw Materials Community Dialogue, hosted by EIT Raw Materials RIS Hub Greece, took place this November.
CORE Group, as an event sponsor, was there to discuss the future of the raw materials and mining sector, in Greece and abroad.
Accelerating Mining Digital Transformation
Stefanos Kokkorikos, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at CORE Group, was invited to deliver a panel session speech. He took the opportunity to showcase CORE Group’s exemplary work in the sector, through our participation in landmark Horizon EU projects.
Stefanos took attendees through a trip “from Pit to Processing“, explaining what Industry 4.0 transformation entails in the mining sector. He showed how analytics can make exploration smart, how predictive maintenance algorithms can be implemented at the extraction stage, and how Industry 4.0 technology solutions can facilitate the processing stage.

Poster session
The panels were followed by poster sessions, where attendees got the chance to share more information on their work in the mining sector.
CORE Group attended the event on behalf of the MASTERMINE and DEXPLORE consortiums. The MASTERMINE project aims to become the go‑to ecosystem for mines that envision digitalisation, with a focus on the Industrial Metaverse approach. DEXPLORE is a new venture for our CORE team, which aims to innovate deep‑land critical mineral exploration through a mix of innovative technologies, like advanced earth observation methods and extended reality solutions. You can follow DEXPLORE on LinkedIn - its website is under construction.
Partners from our PRIM‑ROCK consortium were also in attendance. PRIM‑ROCK is a new project which aims to improve the resource efficiency of the calcination and roasting processes through a multifaceted, input to output strategy, comprising advanced pre‑processing techniques and AI‑driven process simulations. PRIM‑ROCK has just had its kick‑off meeting - follow its account on LinkedIn to stay up-to-date.
Stay in touch
A big thanks from the CORE team to the dialogue organisers for a very intriguing day, engaging discussions and an insider look at the Industry 4.0 future of mining.
