Dannemora Commences Production For Iron Ore Deliveries

Swedish iron ore miner Dannemora, has started production of iron ore for trial deliveries.

The company has engaged Bergteamet AB has as a sub-contractor, and Bergteamet will produce approximately 160 000 tonnes of crude ore with sub-level caving from a level of 162 metres in the Ströms ore.

A temporary processing plant has been established outside the entrance down to the Ströms ore. The finished products will be gradually moved to Hargshamn for shipment to steelwork customers.

The mining and processing operation is expected to run from the middle of March until June, with gradual deliveries to specific customers.

Approximately 9,000 tonnes of iron ore products were delivered to Austrian steel company Voestalpine last year. Negotiations on long-term supply agreements are expected to begin after final testing and an overall evaluation of the blast furnace tests.
