Ruden Sammendrag: Seismisk refraksjonsprofilering ble gjennomført ved RV94 for Statens Vegvesen i forbindelse med oppgradering av RV94 og prosjektering av tunell ved Hammerfest. Formålet med undersøkelsene var å skaffe tilveie informasjon om løsmassemektigheter, løsmassbeskaffenhet samt bergkvalitet ved påhoggene ved Rypefjord og Breilia. Undersøkelsene ble gjennomført ved seismisk refraksjonsprofilering for å bestemme mektigheter og kvalitet av underliggende geologi. Metoden baserer seg på seismisk hastighetsfordeling, og underliggende formasjoner bestemmes da ut fra målte seismiske hastigheter. Ved Rypefjord ble det påvist lag bestående av et øvre tynt torvdekke, organsik jord, grus og sten, deretter oppsprukket fjell 1-5m over kompetent fjell. I Breilia ble det et øvre lag består av 0.5-1.5m torv, organisk jord, grus og sten, deretter 0.2-4.0m med store blokker og oppsprukket fjell over kompetent fjell. Seismisk profilering viser store variasjoner i hastighetsfordelingen som funksjon av orientering. Dette tyder på sterk seismisk anisotropi innen berggrunnen. Dette vises spesielt tydelig ved Rypefjord. Anisotropien kan skyldes foretrukne sprekk-orienteringer. Informasjonen i denne rapporten bør revurderes når informasjon fra fremtidige grunnundersøkelser blir tilgjengelig. Nøkkelord: Seismisk refraksjon, anisotropi Godkjent: F. Ruden, [email protected] AGL13079 Hammerfest Geophysical Survey Report 11 July 2013 PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL THE FINDINGS OF THIS REPORT ARE THE RESULT OF A GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY USING NON-INVASIVE SURVEY TECHNIQUES CARRIED OUT AT THE GROUND SURFACE.

  • Pharmacists Serving Under War Conditions in Northern Norway
    PHARMACISTS SERVING UNDER WAR CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN NORWAY Klevstrand, Rolf 2609 Lillehammer, Norway This is a tale of a few pharmacists in three small towns in the northernmost part of Europe during World War Two. The towns were partly destroyed by air raids. This is of course only a small part of the long tale of sufferings during the war. A map of the Northern part of Scandinavia will show the position of the area (Fig. 1). On the map the counties of Norway are marked with different colours, Finnmark, the northernmost in light blue. Fig. 1 Like the rest of Norway Finnmark was occupied by German forces in 1940. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941, it became part of an important war zone. The next Fig 2 map (Fig. 2) shows the short distances from the towns Vardø, Vadsø, and Kirkenes to Russia. There were German garrisons in each of them, the largest one in Kirkenes which at times had ten times as many soldiers as the local population. “Festung Kirkenes” was an important supply centre for the forces at the front in northern Russia. This made it an important target for Russian bombers. The town had not less than 328 air raids during the war. Each of the towns had one pharmacy, but there was a shortage of trained pharmacists. In 1940 the government issued a decree concerning the duty to serve for medical personnel. In accordance with this, two recently graduated male pharmacists were ordered to work in the pharmacies of Kirkenes and Vadsø from the beginning of 1944.

When navi- gator Willem Barents discovered the Barents Sea in the end of 16th century, and explorer Roald Amundsen set off to the North Pole in the 1920s, they would make a last stop in Finnmark before the final leg of their journey. They stopped in Finnmark not only because it was the last stretch of European mainland, but also because it was already then, inhabited by a population that for generations had accu- mulated Arctic knowhow. Moreover, in the end of 18th century, the thriving trade in the Barents Ragnhild Vassvik, Chair of the Barents region led to the establishment of the two oldest Regional Council and Chair of towns in Finnmark, Vardø and Hammerfest. Finnmark County Council. Finnmark County is the northern- and easternmost county in Norway, a doorway to the shores of both the North Sea (Atlantic Ocean) and the Barents Sea (Arctic Ocean). It also borders the EU and the Russian Federation. Thus, Finnmark has been and will be putting a strong focus on international co-operation in the High North. The whole Barents region has almost 6 million inhabitants and a surface area of 1,75 million square kilometers.

  • The Tschudi Group Divests Sydvaranger to Tacora Resources Inc
    NEWS RELEASE ______________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Tschudi Group Divests Sydvaranger to Tacora Resources Inc. OSLO, NORWAY, January 14, 2021 The Tschudi Group today announced that it has completed the sale of Sydvaranger Mining AS and its subsidiaries -Varanger, Norway, to Tacora Resources Inc -based iron ore mining and mineral processing company focused on high-grad iron ore commodities. Tacora recommenced operations after five years closure in June 2019 at the Scully Mine, a 6 million tonne per year iron ore concentrate producer, after its acquisition of the mine in 2017. Sydvaranger operated from 1910 to 1997, and then from 2009 to 2015 producing high grade iron ore concentrate, with an iron content of 68%, for pelletizing operations. The Tschudi Group, a Norwegian shipping and logistics company, has been involved with the Sydvaranger Mine since 2006. In 2016, the Tschudi Group re-acquired the Sydvaranger assets and has since focused its activities on completing a feasibility study and preparing ore concentrate has significant environmental and cost benefits for steel producers and pelletizing operations, including increased blast furnace productivity, reduced slag volumes, lower CO2 emissions per tonne of steel produced and reduced energy requirements for pelletizing, amongst others. The recent Definitive Feasibility Study confirmed a potential for a 4 million tonne pear year iron ore concentrate production. welcome Tacora as the new owners of Sydvaranger. Since 2016, the Tschudi Group has sought to provide Sydvaranger with the financial and operational capabilities to enable a restart of the mining operations. By introducing Orion Mine Finance as a financial partner in 2018 and by now combining Sydvaranger with the operationally experienced Tacora team, we believe Sydvaranger is in an excellent position to succeed with a restart.
