We listened to a detailed explanation of how the company mines the iron-ore, the different steps, and the side effects resulting from those processes and how they try to control those side effects. It was particularly interesting to hear about the in-house research efforts and how it helps the company save a lot of energy costs ..

LKAB produced 26.9 Mt of iron ore products during 2016. With an outcome of 24.5 Mt in 2015 as a starting point, LKAB's ambition is to increase our production by 5 percent, year by year, up until 2021.

Getting some introduction from our guide about the visitor area in the mine ..

LKAB's mine in Kiruna is the world's largest, most modern underground iron ore mine ..

Today we visited Luleå Science Park and learned about what they do, how they help companies and start ups. We also heard from LTU Business, their work and how they help students with their ideas. #NFGLLuleå #StudyVisits #LSP #LTUBusiness #Startups #LTU
