LKAB closes part of the Kiruna mine
Konsuln is part of the mine in Kiruna. Last year, 2.4 million tonnes were mined there. Putting production at Konsuln on hold is part of LKAB’s plan to reduce production by one million tonnes per year. The reason is the lack of capacity on the Malmbanan railway line, which prevents LKAB from delivering the full volume it sells.
