Boliden invests 4 billion kronor in new hoisting shaft at Garpenberg mine

Following a recent production halt due to seismic activity and rockfall at the Garpenberg mine in Hedemora, Boliden is investing four billion kronor in a new hoisting shaft to secure the site's long-term future.

The Garpenberg mine, owned by Boliden in Hedemora municipality, experienced abnormal seismic activity including a rockfall and tremors, leading to a production stoppage earlier this week and evacuation of underground workers. Despite these challenges, the company has announced a major investment of four billion kronor in a new hoisting shaft. This move underscores Boliden's commitment to the mine's viability amid current disruptions, as reported by Dala-Demokraten.
