The Mineral Industries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania

By Richard M. Levine

Estonia
In 2006, Estonia continued its economic expansion with the gross domestic product (GDP) increasing by 9.8% compared with that of 2005 (U.S. Department of State, 2007). Estonias mining industry was primarily engaged in extracting oil shale, peat, and industrial minerals, which included clays, limestone, and sand and gravel. The AS Silmet plant in northeastern Estonia was one of the leading rare metals and rare-earth metal producers in Europe. Silmet employed about 550 people. The plant included a factory for rare-earth metals separation, a factory for rare metals production, and a metallurgical factory. The factory for rare-earth metals separation produced such products as fluorides, hydroxides, oxides, carbonates, and solutions, as well as liquid nitric fertilizers. The factory for rare metals produced rare metals, hydroxides, oxides, and ammonium bifluoride. The metallurgical factory produced metallic products, which included niobium and tantalum chips, metallic powders and hydrides, and rare-earth metal products, which included neodymium metal ingots, neodymium ferroboron alloys, and mischmetal. About 99% of the raw materials used in production at Silmet were imported and 99% of the products sold were exported (AS Silmet, 2008). Estonia met more than 90% of its electricity needs with locally mined oil shale. The country imported all its natural gas and petroleum, which equaled about 30% of its total energy consumption, from Russia. Alternative energy sources, which included biomass, peat, and wood, made up about 9% of primary energy production. An undersea electricity cable commissioned in December 2006 allowed Estonia to export electricity to Finland (U.S. Department of State, 2007). Estonia had 64 ports along its coast, 31 of which handled commercial shipping and were open to vessels from other countries. Oil refinery products from Russia made up more than 50% of the cargo handled at the countrys ports. The Port of Tallinn was the countrys largest port in terms of freight handled. In the area of mineral shipments, Muuga Harbor, which was the main cargo handling harbor for the Port of Tallinn, handled crude oil and petroleum refinery products. Paldiski South Harbor of the Port of Tallinn handled scrap metal, Paljassaare Harbor of the Port of Tallinn handled petroleum refinery products and coal, Kunda Port handled cement, Sillame Port handled metals and petroleum refinery products, and AS Parnu Sadam Port handled peat (Enterprise Estonia, 2008). Production Silmet, which was Estonias main metal-producing enterprise, annually produced up to 3,000 metric tons (t) of rare-earth products and 700t of rare metal products (AS Silmet, 2008). Silmet was reportedly one of the worlds leading producers of
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania2006
niobium metal chips (Sillame, 2007). Estonia was the leading producer of oil shale in Europe and had been mining high-grade marine oil shale (kukersite of Ordovician age) for many years. In 2006, more than 14 million metric tons (Mt) of oil shale was mined from several underground and open pit mines (table 1). About 85% of the oil shale was burned as fuel in several large electric powerplants in northeastern Estonia. The remainder was retorted for shale oil, which is used in the manufacture of fuels and petrochemicals (Dyni and Johnson, 2006). Oil shale production decreased by about 3% in 2006 compared with that of 2005. Cement production increased in 2006 in line with the countrys economic growth; production data for other construction materials was lacking for 2006, although annual data had been reported in the past. Structure of the Mineral Industry Most of Estonias mineral production was privately owned. Silmet was privatized in 1997 (AS Silmet, 2008). In 2005, the Estonian Silmet Group sold its majority holding in Silmet to Zimal SA of Switzerland, which controlled the Revda loparite mine (located in Russia) and the Solikamsk magnesium works (also located in Russia) through the Russian holding company Mineral Group (Estonian Economy, 2006). Oil shale production was under the control of Eesti Energia, which was a state-owned company engaged in the production, sale, and transmission of electric power. The oil shale, which was extracted from mines owned by Eesti Energia, was the companys main raw material for energy production (Eesti Energia, 2008). Oil shale production was conducted by Eesti Plevkivi [Estonian Oil Shale Company], which was a subsidiary of Eesti Energia (Oil Shale Symposium 2009). References Cited

Latvia

Latvia had the Baltic states only steel mill. Other mineral commodity production was confined to industrial minerals used in construction, peat extraction, and production of a small amount of natural gas. In 2006, the countrys GDP increased by 11.9% compared with that of 2005 (U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, 2008). Latvias major role in the world mineral economy was as a transshipper of mineral products. The countrys three main ports are Liepaja, Riga, and Ventspils, all of which mostly transited cargoes to and from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. In terms of the volume of transshipments, Ventspils was the largest port in Latvia as well as on the Baltic Sea. Ventspils handled more than 25 Mt of cargo in 2006, which included crude oil, petroleum products, and potash. Ventspils Nafta Terminal LTD was the Baltic Sea regions leading oil and petroleum product transshipment terminal. Crude oil and petroleum products are received by pipeline and railways. The tank farm capacity of the enterprise exceeded 1 million cubic meters, which enabled the clients of the terminal to store products in case there was no immediate transshipment possibility owing to conditions (such as weather) or in expectation of a better market price. The terminal also included among its services chemical analysis of oil and petroleum products in the company laboratory (Ventspils Freeport Authority, 2008). The Freeport of Riga, which is the countrys second largest port, handled such cargo as mineral fertilizers, petroleum products, and various metals. About 80% of the products handled were transshipped to and from the CIS (Riga Freeport Authority, 2008). The Port of Liepaja handles one-third less cargo than the Freeport of Riga. Its mineral product cargo is mainly metals and mineral fertilizers. Production The growth in Latvias economy appeared to spur an increase in the production of mineral commodities used in infrastructure development, although information on the production of cement and steel was not reported for 2006. Data on mineral production are provided in table 1. Structure of the Mineral Industry The Ports of Riga and Ventspils operated as freeports and the Port of Liepaja was part of the Liepaja Specialized Economic Zone. The countrys only steel mill, Liepajas Metalurg, was the countrys main mineral industry enterprise; it was a public jointstock company (Liepajas Metallurgs, 2007).

Lithuania

Lithuanias main mineral commodity production enterprises were its nitrogen fertilizer enterprise in Jonava and its petroleum refinery near Mazeikai. The country also produced industrial mineral products, which included cement, clays, and sand and gravel, and mineral fuels, which included peat and crude petroleum. Lithuania had the Baltic states only nuclear powerplant at Ignalina, which generated more than 85% of the electric power produced in Lithuania. The reactors at the plant, however, are of the RBMK-2 model, which is the model that was involved in the accident at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine (Energy Daily, 2007). The countrys Port of Klaipeda was a major transshipment center for mineral products, and, in particular, fertilizers and crude oil and petroleum products. The completion of upgrades at the Butinge terminal at the Port of Klaipeda, which is connected to the Russian oil pipeline system, increased the countrys ability to export crude oil and petroleum refinery products from Russia (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2006). Production In 2006, Lithuanias GDP grew at a rate of 7.5%, which stimulated production of construction materials used in building the countrys infrastructure. Most industrial minerals used in construction experienced an increase in output compared with that of 2005. Production of most fuels decreased somewhat in 2006, however, compared with that of 2005. In June, Russia cut off pipeline supplies to Lithuanias Mazeikiu Nafta refinery reportedly owing to technical problems caused by an accident on the pipeline that supplied the refinery. The accident took place shortly after the sale of the refinery to the Polish refiner PKN Orlen (Graham, 2006). The refinery then had to transport oil from Butingea distance of 90 kilometers (Interfax Central Europe News Agency, 2007). Additional data on mineral production are provided in table 1. Achema AB, a nitrogen fertilizer and chemical products manufacturer, was the countrys other major mineral production enterprise. Its production of fertilizers exceeded 2 Mt/yr and included compound and nitrogenous fertilizers (Achema AB, 2008a).

Structure of the Mineral Industry Yukos International UK BV, a United Kingdom-based subsidiary of the Russian oil producer Yukos Oil, sold its Lithuanian refinery Mazeikiu Nafta to the Polish refiner PKN Orlen in December 2006. PKN Orlen was the leading oil refiner in Central Europe and was part-owned by the Polish Government. PKN Orlen owned a number of refineries and gas stations in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland. Mazeikiu Nafta, which was one of Lithuanias most important strategic assets, had been purchased by the Yukos Oil subsidiary in 2002. In December 2003,Yukos head office in Russia was presented with the first of several very large tax bills, which bankrupted Yukos within a year. The Russian state oil firm Rosneft purchased much of Yukos debt and demanded a say in any potential sale of Mazeikiu Nafta. Yukos UK subsidiary contested Rosnefts claim in a legal dispute that was decided in favor of the sale to PKN Orlen (Moldova.org, 2006). Achema AB, Lithuanias nitrogen fertilizer enterprise, was privatized in 1994; Achema AB employed more than 1,600 employees in 2006 (Achema AB, 2008b).
