Se reanudan las voladuras en la mina de Garpenberg tras el derrumbe de marzo

Las voladuras se reanudaron el miércoles en partes de la mina de Garpenberg de Boliden, en Hedemora, tras haber sido suspendidas debido a un derrumbe y varios terremotos en marzo. Cuatro personas fueron trasladadas al hospital tras el derrumbe del 14 de marzo. Boliden afirma que el trabajo avanza de forma segura y sistemática.

Las voladuras en la mina de Garpenberg se reanudaron alrededor de las 16:00 del miércoles 23 de abril. Los horarios habituales de voladura de las 16:00 y las 04:00 se aplican ahora en las partes no afectadas por el derrumbe.

Un fuerte terremoto provocó un derrumbe en la mina el 14 de marzo. Cuatro personas fueron trasladadas al hospital, la mina fue evacuada y todo el trabajo subterráneo se detuvo. Posteriormente se produjeron varios terremotos más.

Boliden ha declarado que partes de la mina están tan dañadas que la producción no podrá reanudarse allí durante todo el año 2026. "Estamos trabajando de forma segura y sistemática para retomar la producción bajo las nuevas condiciones", escribió la compañía en sus redes sociales.

Las operaciones regulares se han reanudado parcialmente desde el 22 de abril en las secciones no dañadas, según los informes.
