Following a series of seismic events at the Garpenberg mine in Hedemora, Boliden announced that large parts of the mine will remain closed throughout 2026. The company expects to lose 70 percent of planned production and incur a 400 million kronor loss in the first quarter.
Boliden plans a new hoisting shaft at its Garpenberg mine to boost production to 4.5 million tons annually, following a weekend collapse that injured workers and ongoing high seismic activity halting underground operations. The investment builds on earlier announcements amid disruptions.
