The Boliden Area, which includes the underground mines in Renström, Kristineberg and Kankberg, is where the first gold deposit was discovered, laying the foundation for Boliden’s operations.
With the exception of Kankberg, complex sulphide ores, which contain zinc, copper, lead, gold and silver, are produced by all the mines. The area also has a concentrator and a leaching plant for gold and tellurium production. The tellurium that is mined in Kankberg is used, among other things, for solar cell production. |
