Welcome to Gällivare, home of our Malmberget mine! Here's where our transformation begins, with the construction of a first production plant for carbon dioxide-free sponge iron and the electrication of the mine itself. Large-scale mining has been going here since the late 1880s and today, we’re proud to keep this legacy going.
In Malmberget, urban transformation is nothing new – the mine's need of land has affected the town for over 50 years – but now most of the town will be demolished or, in some cases, moved.
From the mountain, more than a 1,000 meters below the surface, iron ore is extracted, ultimately becoming high-quality steel that builds our society. The journey involves drilling, blasting, and loading in the mine, followed by sorting, enrichment, and pelletising in our processing plants above ground, before finally being transported by train on the Malmbanan and by boat from the port in Luleå out into the world.
