Garpenberg mine update: Operations still halted underground, info meeting planned

A day after seismic activity halted underground production at Garpenbergsgruvan, the situation remains under control but resumption timeline is unclear. Staff continue above-ground work as inspections await safety clearance. Boliden schedules resident info meeting Wednesday.

Following Saturday's rockfall and tremors that injured several workers and prompted evacuation at Boliden-operated Garpenbergsgruvan in Dalarna, underground production remains paused. The situation is now stable, with no further incidents reported, but experts must confirm safety before inspections. Around 500 staff are working above ground. Boliden will host an information meeting for nearby residents on Wednesday evening. The mine is vital to the local industry, and such events trigger strict safety protocols prioritizing personnel.
