Boliden Expanding at Garpenberg

摘要

Boliden has announced plans to invest SEK3.9 billion (about 606 million dollars) to expand production at its Garpenberg mine, 150 km northwest of Stockholm, Sweden. The expansion will nearly double production of mined ore at Garpenberg from 1.4 million mt/y currently to 2.5 million mt/y by the end of 2015. Spending will go toward construction of a new concentrator, new shafts and underground facilities, and infrastructure upgrades. At the same time, the production cost per ton of ore will decrease by around 25%.
