    “For the first time, I have a database that allows me to quickly find very detailed information on banks and savings banks in Norway, while also allowing me to do valid comparisons against hundreds of peer companies throughout Europe. SNL has increased my team’s capabilities, while freeing us from tedious data entry.”
    Kjetil Lind Andersen, Senior Associate, SpareBank 1 Markets

    "I find SNL Metals Economics Group services extremely useful—and I should say indispensable. [It] allows me to see which mines are expanding or developing new operations—opportunities for Outotec’s concentrate filtration process. The service is intuitive to use and I can get the information I need quickly and easily. I like the depth of information and the historical record of the mine development. I also appreciate the ability to download data to a spreadsheet for analysis or to produce detailed PDF reports for individual mines or groups of mines."
    Ian Townsend, Manager - Filter Business (Flotation Concentrates), Outotec
