Operations

LKAB has been mining the iron-rich ores of the Orefields of northern Sweden for more than a century. LKAB’s mines in Kiruna and Malmberget are among the world’s most modern, thanks to investments in advanced technology and large-scale production systems. In processing plants on the surface, the ore is transformed into customer-tailored

iron ore products.

   The process chain stretches all the way from the iron ore deposits to the customer. It starts with the production of crude ore in underground mines, continues with upgrading of iron ore in processing plants at surface level, and rail transport of finished products to shipping harbors for further delivery to customers around the world. It is an integrated process that is always in progress, around-the-clock, year-round.
