MENY OPERATIONS Boliden – A world-class metals company Operations Metals for modern life Boliden is a high-tech metal company with its own mines and smelters that work over the long term to guarantee society's supply of base metals and precious metals through the mining of ore (minerals) and the production and delivery of high quality metals to industry. Our high productivity is based on experience, innovation and advanced technology, developed in collaboration with Nordic technology and engineering companies. Today, around 6000 people work at Boliden, which has operations in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Ireland. Metals are needed in all sectors and without them, modern society would cease functioning. Exploration We search for new mineral deposits through exploration, both in the vicinity of our existing mines and in new areas. In this way, we contribute to secure the future of our business and take long-term responsibility for the supply of metals of the highest quality to society. We focus on mineral deposits containing zinc, copper, lead, nickel, gold, palladium, platinum and silver. Read more Mines We extract ore from open pits and underground mines. Thanks to modern technological developments, mining methods and our expertise in mining design, our production is of the highest class from drilling and blasting to loading and crushing. We separate minerals from crushed ore in our concentrators. The end products are various mineral concentrates that are shipped to smelters for further processing. Exhausted parts of the mine are refilled, and sand from the concentrators is collected in taillingdams Read more Our mines Smelters In our smelters we refine mineral concentrates from our own and other mines into pure metals. Thanks to our technical expertise and flexible processes, we can extract metals from complex raw materials and produce metals of very high quality.
