Mining in Finland

27.4.2016 # M I N I N G F I N L A N D 5

Finland is a traditional mining country

with recognized top expertise

27.4.2016 # M I N I N G F I N L A N D 6

• Finland has had hundreds of mines operating since 1530’s and

experienced a major mining boom already in the beginning of 1900

when copper was discovered in the town of Outokumpu

• Most important minerals mined today in Finland include chromium,

nickel, gold, copper, zinc and platinum metals, phosphate/apatite,

calcite and talc

Applying best practices in tailings management will bring significant operational cost savings and reduces safety risks

• Paste and dry stacking

technologies combined with

closed water loops are the best

available technologies for

conserving water within the

concentrator environment

• The short- and long-term risks

can be significantly reduced by

reducing the amount of water in
