The products are transported along the Malmbanan and Ofotbanen ore railway to the port in Narvik for shipment to steelworks customers around the world. Net sales during the year amounted to MSEK 16,630 (14,416) and earnings to MSEK 8,069 (4,264). Iron ore products4 SOUTHERN DIVISION 90% Comprises mines and processing plants in Malmberget and Svappavaara.

  • Fire and Smoke Spread in Underground Mines
    Site inventory of operational mines– fire and smoke spread in underground mines. Rickard Hansen Studies in Sustainable Technology 2010:01 Mälardalen University Summary This report is part of the research project “Concept for fire and smoke spread prevention in mines”, conducted by a research group at Mälardalen University. The project is aimed at improving fire safety in mines in order to obtain a safer working environment for the people working for the mining companies in Sweden or for visitors in mines open to the public. This report deals with the second step in the project: the site inventory in operational mines. The main purposes of the inventory are: - To get a clear picture of the risks in the different mines. - To get a clear picture of the protective measures of each mine. - Optimize the choice of design fires for each mine. To find out what the present situation was at the operational mines, a site inventory was conducted at the two LKAB mines. The site inventories were conducted through actual visits to the specific sites and through e-mail correspondence with LKAB personnel responsible for the different sections and areas. During the inventories, predefined forms for each type of item were used in order to facilitate the work. The following items were examined: - Combustible materials in general, for example large amounts of wood. - Vehicles - Cables - Fire barriers - Ventilation systems - Extinguishing systems Besides the above items, earlier fires and fire incidents were also examined. As the two LKAB mines are tremendously large with a large amount of equipment etc, only the most common vehicles were listed and examined further.

  • Year-End Report 2019: Strong Earnings in an Uncertain Market
    PRESS RELEASE Attachments: Date: 1 (3) 11/02/2020 Contact: Bo Krogvig, Senior Vice President Communications and Climate, LKAB Telephone: +46 (0)8 429 3445 Email: [email protected] Year-end report 2019: Strong earnings in an uncertain market Stable production and favourable market conditions enabled LKAB to increase its operating profit both for the quarter and for the full year, this despite lower delivery volumes. The market remains uncertain, however. Sales for full-year 2019 increased to MSEK 31,260 (25,892) and operating profit strengthened to MSEK 11,788 (6,869), an increase of 72 percent. The improved earnings are mainly due to higher iron ore prices and a stronger dollar exchange rate. Lower sales had an adverse effect. Operating cash flow for the full year increased to MSEK 6,981 (3,386). The improvement is mainly due to the increase in profits and to lower levels of capital expenditure. Higher expenditure on urban transformation had a negative impact. Profit for the year amounted to MSEK 10,173 (5,274) and the Board is proposing to the Annual General Meeting an ordinary dividend amounting to MSEK 6,104 (3,164). For the fourth quarter sales increased to MSEK 6,947 (6,911) and operating profit increased to MSEK 2,047 (1,900). The improved earnings are mainly a result of a stronger dollar exchange rate and lower costs for urban transformation provisions. Lower prices for highly upgraded iron ore products and lower delivery volumes during the quarter had an adverse effect. “I am pleased that we are delivering strong earnings despite an uncertain market and despite making significant investments in both the ongoing urban transformation and our projects for the future.

  • Tests for Heavier Transports on the Ore Railway
    PRESS RELEASE Attachement: Date: 1 (2) 19/04/2021 Contact person: Anders Lindberg, Group Media Relations Manager Phone: +46 72 717 8355 E-Mail: [email protected] Tests for heavier transports on the Ore Railway Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration), together with LKAB and Bane Nor, is conducting tests on the Swedish and Norwegian sections of the Ore Railway to enable heavier transports in future. Therefore, the axle load for ore cars is being increased from 30 tonnes to 31 tonnes. “The purpose of the tests is to determine which stretches of the railway must be upgraded to enable an increase in the payload weight of cars operating on the line and thereby create a more efficient and environmentally friendly transport system. Quite simply, through testing, we want to determine how higher axle load affects wear on rails and switches. Testing is beginning now and we will assess the results on an ongoing basis,” says Staffan Ökvist, maintenance manager for Trafikverket's northern region. Testing will be carried out on both the Swedish and Norwegian stretches of the railway that runs between Kiruna and Narvik (Malmbanan and Ofotbanan). For some time, testing has also been under way on the southern section of the line, between Malmberget and Luleå. In business and industry there is a great demand for increased capacity on the Ore Railway. By upgrading the railway, more freight can be hauled without increasing the number of trains operating on the line. The tests are part of a forward-thinking strategy, the ambition of which is to be able in future to operate trains with an axle load of 32.5 tonnes along the entire Ore Railway.
