  • 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.

  • Ideology, Environment and Forced Relocation: Kiruna
    European Urban a n d R e g i o n a l Article S t u d i e s European Urban and Regional Studies 17(4) 433–442 Ideology, environment and forced © The Author(s) 2010 Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav relocation: Kiruna – a town on DOI: 10.1177/0969776410369045 the move http://eur.sagepub.com Bo Nilsson Umeå University, Sweden Abstract Kiruna, a small town in the north of Sweden, is facing a major change because an expanding mining industry is threatening the town. The iron ore body runs under the central parts of the town and continued mining will cause that area to collapse. Therefore, the municipality of Kiruna (Kiruna kommun) has, under the influence of the mining company LKAB (Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag), decided to relocate parts of the town a few miles to the north-west. The relocation plans have attracted a great deal of attention in both national and international media. This article examines the ideological bias that characterizes various opinions in relation to the relocation plans, and especially the views of those in favour of the move, the mining company and the majority of the municipality of Kiruna. ‘Ideology’, both as a concept and as a perspective, is used in an analysis of how some specific ‘truths’ regarding the relocation are produced. Furthermore, I argue that the relocation plans are part of an ideological fantasy rooted in the social structure, of which the mining company has historically been a creator. On a more general level, the article deals with democratic processes in the context of an urban transformation.

  • MESTO DEJINY Narvik, a Swedish Norwegian Border Town
    MESTO a DEJINY Narvik, a Swedish Norwegian Border Town Steinar Aas vol. 8, 2019, 1, pp. 54-79 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33542/MAD2019-1-03 This article gives an insight into the industrialization and colonization processes of northern Scandinavia. Urbanization due to industrialization is a vital part of the perspective, and brings us into an industrial mega system in Swedish Lapland in the late nineteenth century based on iron ore export. It was to be connected to the industrial centre of Europe, especially the Ruhrgebiet of Germany, and paved the way for a new kind of urban development in peripheral Europe – the industrial network town. The history and foundation of the Norwegian harbour town Narvik is vital for gaining insight into this mega system. By studying Narvik we can envisage particularities of, and similarities and diff erences between Norway and Sweden when it comes to their urban economic foundations, urban development/planning regimes, and the relations between the municipalities, the modern nation states and the dominating companies. Even the development of a uniquely Scandinavian identity connected with the labour movement and the development of a post-war social democrat order visibly results from the new industries. Thus the common Swedish-Norwegian fi gure of the rallar – something like navvy or construction worker – has a signifi cant place in this study, and the use of the fi gure in addition to later processes of memory creation, both within the Norwegian and Swedish labour movements, is addressed. Keywords: Urban History. Modernization. Industrialization. Norwegian History. Swedish History. Technology. Urban Planning. Memory Studies.

  • Master's Thesis
    MASTER'S THESIS Mineral Chemistry of Gangue Minerals in the Kiirunavaara Iron Ore Joakim Nordstrand Master of Science (120 credits) Exploration and Environmental Geosciences Luleå University of Technology Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural resources engineering Fall 08 Till T. Abstract The iron-ore of Kiirunavaara is one of the largest magnetite-apatite mineralisation in the world. It is well known for its purity and size and its origin has been the subject of an intense debate for over a century. The composition of the most important minerals from an economic point of view, magnetite and apatite, has been well studied but little is known about the composition and role of the silicate minerals. Nowadays, even the silicates have been targeted for investigations, both in Kiirunavaara and in similar deposits elsewhere, e.g., Sierra la Banderra, Chile. The growing interest derives mainly from the importance of the gangue minerals in ore processing but also because they might hold the key to the origin of the ores. In this study, a large scale microprobe investigation of over 250 analyses has been carried out mainly focussing on silicates within the ore body but also to some extent on sulphates, phosphates and carbonates. Most of the analysed grains belonged to either the amphibole group or the mica group. Amphiboles and micas are by far the most abundant silicates within the ore body. Through (EMPA) analysis of 198 separate mineral grains, this investigation led to the broadest and most updated characterisation of silicates within the Kiirunavaara ore body. It also briefly looks at setting and chemistry of sulphates, phosphates, and carbonates.

    2007 Minerals Yearbook SWEDEN U.S. Department of the Interior July 2010 U.S. Geological Survey THE MINERAL INDUS T RY OF SWEDEN By Harold R. Newman In 2007, Sweden continued to be an active mining country; The total value of imported goods was $15.2 billion (Economist, the principal mining centers were the Bergslagen, the The, 2007). Norrbotten, and the Skellefte districts. Three of Sweden’s largest In 2007, U.S. export trade with Sweden was valued at mines are located in the Norrbotten district. Metal mining and $4.5 billion and U.S. import trade was valued at $13 billion. metal products manufacturing dominated the mineral industry. Significant export commodities to Sweden from the United Owing to inadequate indigenous fossil fuel energy resources, States included nonferrous metals (which includes precious Sweden relied on hydrocarbon imports. The country has also metals), $174.4 million; metallurgical grade coal, $50.4 million; developed hydroelectric and nuclear power energy sources. and nuclear fuel materials, $33.3 million. Significant import Foreign companies were actively exploring for base metals, commodities from the United States included iron and steel mill diamond, and gold. Mineral exploration spending rose by 70% products, $704.5 million; and steelmaking and ferroalloying in 2007, to $92 million. Drilling companies in Sweden were materials, $73 million. Mineral fuel imports from the United fully contracted, and drilling equipment was in limited supply; States included fuel oil, $201.6 million; and liquefied petroleum as a result, companies that were conducting mineral exploration gas, $22 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007a, b). were finding it difficult to get additional drilling done (Mining Journal, 2008).

  • Mining Regions and Cities Case of Västerbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden OECD Rural Studies
    OECD Rural Studies OECD Rural Studies Mining Regions and Cities Case of Västerbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden OECD Rural Studies Sweden’s northern region, Upper Norrland, is one of the most important mining regions in Europe and has the potential to become a global leader in environmentally sustainable mining. With the largest land surface and the lowest population density in Sweden, Upper Norrland contains two sub regions, Västerbotten Mining Regions and Cities and Norrbotten. Both sub regions host the greatest mineral reserves in the country, containing 9 of the country’s 12 active mines and providing 90% of the iron ore in the European Union. Upper Norrland has the potential Case of Västerbotten to become a global leader in environmentally sustainable mining due to its competitive advantages, including a stable green energy supply, high‑quality broadband connection, a pool of large mining companies working closely with universities to reduce the emissions footprint across the mining value chain, and a highly skilled and Norrbotten, Sweden labour force. Yet, the region must overcome a number of bottlenecks to support a sustainable future, including a shrinking workforce, low interaction of local firms with the mining innovation process and an increasing opposition to mining due to socio environmental concerns and land use conflicts. This study identifies how Västerbotten and Norrbotten can build on their competitive advantages and address current and future challenges to support a resilient future through sustainable mining.
