LKAB
Luossavaara-Kirunavaara AB (LKAB) is an international
high-tech minerals group, one of the worlds leading producers of upgraded iron ore products for the steel industry and a growing supplier of industrial minerals products to other sectors. Most of the iron ore products are sold to European steelworks. Other important markets are North Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Industrial minerals are sold mainly in Europe but also to growing markets in Asia and the USA. LKAB has around 3,700 employees, of which 600 outside Sweden.

Boliden Mineral
outside Gllivare in northern Sweden, is one of the largest producers of copper in Europe.
Aitik is a low-grade copper mine,
which means that the ore is mined on a large scale. In 2010 approximately 28 million tonnes of ore were mined. 67,000 ton Cu and 2,200 kg gold
In operation since 1968.

Boliden Area
The Boliden Area is located in the 2010 1.44 Mton ore mined 86,000 ton Zc produced
mineral rich Skellefte field where some 30 mines have been in operation since the 1920s. Zn, Cu, Pb, Ag and Au Mines today are;
Kristineberg, Renstrm,
Dynasty. Boliden purchased the Garpenberg Mine from AB Zinkgruvor in 1957. Operations at the Garpenberg Norra mine started in 1972.
constituents are zinc and silver, but the ore contains also lead, copper and gold. Mining method has been Cut and Fill but is changing over to panel stoping with paste fill. Six metres slices are mined from stopes 50-300m long and up to 15m wide. The lowermost cut is filled with pure sand and later on with waste rock and sand; thereafter either plain or cemented tailings pumped from the surface are used and the water is drained off. The coarse fraction of the mill tailings is used for backfill in the mines, while the fines are deposited in an adjacent tailing pond.

More than 1.4 million tonnes of ore are processed at the concentrator
each year. 2010 was 86,000 ton Cu Zn (%) 7,28 Cu (%) 0,07 Pb (%) 2,80 Ag (g/ton) 139 Au (g/ton) 0,25

Garpenberg- Lappberget
Between the two active mines a large
deposit, called Lappberget, was discovered year 2001, with high grades of zinc, silver and lead, extending the area's operating life. This orebody is of a greater thickness then the other mines will allow for a larger scale mining method, i.e. panel stoping with paste fill. A connecting drift between the mines at 800-900 m level was completed in spring 2004 and production at Lappberget commenced on a wider scale. The Garpenberg area has around 275 employees.

initiation of the rounds. In the mines the NONEL-system is used and after charging the coupled rounds they earlier had the blasting crew driving around to the various blasting sites. At the end of each shift, i.e. at 16.00 and at 04.00 the crew ignited the rounds with cap and fuse. The new shifts started at 18.00 and 06.00, which gave a time gap of 2 hours to shoot the rounds and ventilate the blast fumes. The old fashion cap and fuse was not considered safe and they installed a central blasting system.

level a control room for the central blasting system was established. Cap and fuse method for initiation of Nonel rounds was abandoned Avoiding people to enter the mine during the initiation sequences is a safer approach then previously used method. A remote controlled central blasting system like DynoRem Mine was convenient to use and the safety has been increased in the mine.
