Who we are

Since the start in 1890, north Sweden has been LKAB’s home base. Our identity is rooted in Malmfälten (“the Ore Fields”) – or more specifically in our mines in Kiruna and Gällivare.

Once upon a time

LKAB was founded in 1890, but the history of our mines began in 1642 with Lasun Lassi, Axel Oxenstierna and a black stone.
