Euro Mine Expo, Sweden, June 12-14, 2012Euro Mine Expo at the heart of Europe’s expanding mining industry
December 19, 2011.
- Euro Mine Expo will take place in Skellefteå, Sweden, from 12-14 June 2012.
"Sweden is still the largest raw metal supplier in the Nordic region. To give just one example, 90% of Europe’s iron ore comes from the north of Sweden. Here, in the region with the most mines in Europe, is where the Euro Mine Expo international trade fair is going to be arranged for the third time. The fair, which will take place in Skellefteå in Sweden from 12-14 June 2012, also has a conference segment with topical presentations by leading players in the industry. The themes around which the conference will be based are “Mining in the Barents Region”, “Good governance and corporate responsibility” and “Smarter, deeper, better mining”. The fair is being held during a period of strong expansion in the Scandinavian mining industry.
Large parts of the northern Swedish city of Kiruna are being relocated to make room for more mining. The move will allow the mine in Malmberget to continue to expand and a completely new mine has been started in Pajala."
"One example of the mining industry’s expansion is the small town of Pajala, north of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden. Here there is an extensive iron ore deposit and the Canadian company Northland Resources is planning a total of three mines after originally having been looking for gold."
