The Sweden Mining Industry

Since ancient days, mining and the iron industry have been of great importance in the economic life of Sweden, which was among the most active mining countries in Europe. Iron and steel comprised Sweden's top industry and fifth-leading export commodity in 2002—one-third of Sweden's exports were from steel—and chemicals ranked sixth among export commodities. Sweden accounted for a large percentage of Western Europe's iron output, and was home to the region's largest gold mine.
The Bergslagen region, in central Sweden, yielded high-grade ores for quality steel. Lead, copper, zinc, gold, and silver were produced in the rich Skellefte (Boliden) region, where bismuth, cobalt, and huge quantities of arsenic were also found. Further south, phosphate, tungsten, kyanite, and pyrite were found. Sweden also produced hydraulic cement, kaolin clay, feldspar, fertilizer, graphite, lime, quartz, quartzite, dimension and crushed stone (including dolomite, granite (for domestic use and for export), limestone, sandstone, and slate), sulfur, and soapstone talc. Marble (in Askersund) and ilmenite were also found in Sweden. Production on the Blaiken zinc/gold mine was expected to start in 2001, and reverse circulation drilling for diamonds was done on the Svartliden gold project.

Sweden has Europe’s largest mining industry which contributes 0.3% to Sweden’s GDP. Sweden has substantial base metal, gold and iron ore deposits, which are being actively exploited and developed.
Boliden AB, Sweden’s largest mining company, dominates Sweden’s mine production. Boliden operates several polymetallic mines as well a copper mine and a lead zinc mine. Several foreign companies are actively exploring Sweden for base metals, gold and diamonds. Sweden’s Skellefte District has been recognised as a gold province, with similarities to deposits in Australia. Here Australian Dragon Mining NL has acquired the highly prospective Swartlivden gold prospect that has the potential to produce 50 000 oz gold per year for at least five years from a CIP/CIL opencast operation. Resources at Svartliden total some 1.22 Mt grading 4.4 g/t gold for a total of 245 000 oz gold.
