In the backdrop of a ‘sustainable shift’, Norway has been re-situated on the world stage by soaring global demands for minerals and metals, and a mining sector’s eagerness to grow. If the promises of wealth through mining activities are delivered, our only two mines in operation will turn into hundreds of potential endeavors. At present, the promises regarding wealth witness a new paradigm shift for Norway. By means of documentation and communication e-ram questions the complexity of this national adventure by the mining sector, and investigates its current trajectory that presents promises and paradoxes. As an investigative project, it puts to light how our new technology driven future of circuit boards, data and clouds manifest on the environment. Herein, this research aims at an objective understanding regarding the future mining potential of Norway and its impending impact.
