How often do you think about all the iron ore you have in your life? Probably not very often. But if you look around you'll notice that there is iron everywhere. The pots in the kitchen. The bike rack. The door handle. The lamppost over there. Maybe you even have jeans with a fly. Or keys jingling in your pocket. Every day we mine about 135,000 tons of ore in our mines. Not so anyone will think about it. But so that we can have all those little things in life. Without thinking of it.
Every day we mine 135,000 tonnes of iron ore, which is turned into kickbikes, lampposts, pots, keys, door handles, basketball hoops and a lot of things we have in our lives.
We produce the most iron ore in all of Europe. In fact, more than 80 percent of all iron ore in the EU comes from us. It is all mined in Norrbotten and travels to the world via the ports of Narvik and Luleå.
We are fully owned by the Swedish state and distribute a large portion of our profits every year – most recently SEK 1.5 billion for 2024.
