Kirunagruvan


One of the largest underground mines in the world. The orebody is a slice of (apatite-bearing) magnetite ore 4 km long, 80 m wide stretching to an estimated depth of 2 km at an inclination of 60 degrees. Present main level is at a depth of 1045 meters.

The new main level at 1365 m is planned to open in 2012.
