Ores and concentrators

Ores and concentrators

Ores contain information on production at mines and mining areas with information  on the name of the mine/mining area, type of ore, years of production, amount of ore and metal contents, produced amount of waste rock and other information. Ores also contain information on reported reserves & resources at Swedish deposits with information on the type of ore, amount of ore and metal content.

Concentrators contain information on the amount of ore processed at the concentrator and the amount of mineral concentrate produced, all with metal contents. The amount of tailings produced has been calculated as the difference between the incoming ore and the outgoing mineral concentrate.

Statistics on ore in Sweden are useful for decision-makers in municipalities, counties and central government, for mining and exploration companies and for the general public. Here you can see where the mines and concentrators of the last hundred years have been and what they have produced. Information about possible future ores is also included.

A predefined dataset is available for download as a database in Geopackage format.
