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.
A magnitude 3.2 earthquake struck Boliden's Garpenberg mine at 875 meters depth on Friday morning. Underground staff were evacuated, but no one was injured and operations above ground remained unaffected.
