Decision to increase backfill capacity in Garpenberg
Boliden (BDNNY) has announced a significant investment of SEK 750 million in a new paste facility at its Garpenberg mine, marking the first step towards expanding production from 3.5 to 4.5 million tonnes annually. The facility will improve backfilling operations using a mixture of tailings and binder to stabilize rock and maximize ore tonnage.
The company has submitted a permit application for the production increase to 4.5 million tonnes. The new paste plant will be constructed adjacent to the existing facility to minimize production disruptions, with completion expected in 2026. Further expansion beyond the current 3.5 million tonnes licensed level will require additional developments in mine production, underground development, and ore transportation infrastructure.
The decision follows several years of successful exploration at Garpenberg, resulting in improved access to both Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources. Concept studies are ongoing to evaluate potential future production increases, which would depend on expansions in mine production, hoisting, processing, and tailings facilities capacity.
Boliden (BDNNY) ha annunciato un investimento significativo di 750 milioni di SEK in una nuova struttura per paste presso la sua miniera di Garpenberg, segnando il primo passo verso l'espansione della produzione da 3,5 a 4,5 milioni di tonnellate all'anno. La struttura migliorer脿 le operazioni di riempimento utilizzando una miscela di scarti e legante per stabilizzare la roccia e massimizzare il tonnellaggio del minerale.
L'azienda ha presentato una domanda di permesso per l'aumento della produzione a 4,5 milioni di tonnellate. Il nuovo impianto per paste sar脿 costruito accanto alla struttura esistente per ridurre al minimo le interruzioni della produzione, con completamento previsto nel 2026. Ulteriori espansioni oltre l'attuale livello autorizzato di 3,5 milioni di tonnellate richiederanno sviluppi aggiuntivi nella produzione mineraria, nello sviluppo sotterraneo e nelle infrastrutture di trasporto del minerale.
La decisione segue diversi anni di esplorazione di successo a Garpenberg, che ha portato a un miglioramento dell'accesso sia alle Risorse Minerarie che alle Riserve Minerarie. Sono in corso studi di concetto per valutare potenziali aumenti futuri della produzione, che dipenderebbero da espansioni nella produzione mineraria, nel sollevamento, nel processamento e nella capacit脿 delle strutture per scarti.

La nueva planta de pasta se construir谩 adyacente a la instalaci贸n existente para minimizar las interrupciones en la producci贸n, con la finalizaci贸n prevista para 2026. Una mayor expansi贸n m谩s all谩 del nivel autorizado actual de 3,5 millones de toneladas requerir谩 desarrollos adicionales en la producci贸n minera, el desarrollo subterr谩neo y la infraestructura de transporte de mineral.
La decisi贸n sigue varios a帽os de exploraci贸n exitosa en Garpenberg, lo que ha resultado en un mejor acceso tanto a Recursos Minerales como a Reservas Minerales. Se est谩n llevando a cabo estudios conceptuales para evaluar posibles aumentos futuros en la producci贸n, que depender铆an de las expansiones en la producci贸n minera, el izaje, el procesamiento y la capacidad de las instalaciones de relaves.

Boliden (BDNNY) a annonc茅 un investissement significatif de 750 millions de SEK dans une nouvelle installation de p芒te 脿 sa mine de Garpenberg, marquant le premier pas vers l'expansion de la production de 3,5 脿 4,5 millions de tonnes par an. L'installation am茅liorera les op茅rations de remblayage en utilisant un m茅lange de r茅sidus et de liant pour stabiliser la roche et maximiser le tonnage de minerai.
L'entreprise a soumis une demande de permis pour augmenter la production 脿 4,5 millions de tonnes. La nouvelle usine de p芒te sera construite 脿 c么t茅 de l'installation existante pour minimiser les interruptions de production, avec une ach猫vement pr茅vu en 2026. Une expansion suppl茅mentaire au-del脿 du niveau autoris茅 actuel de 3,5 millions de tonnes n茅cessitera des d茅veloppements suppl茅mentaires dans la production mini猫re, le d茅veloppement souterrain et l'infrastructure de transport du minerai.
La d茅cision fait suite 脿 plusieurs ann茅es d'exploration r茅ussie 脿 Garpenberg, aboutissant 脿 un meilleur acc猫s aux r茅serves et ressources min茅rales. Des 茅tudes de concept sont en cours pour 茅valuer les augmentations potentielles de production future, qui d茅pendraient des expansions dans la production mini猫re, le levage, le traitement et la capacit茅 des installations de r茅sidus.
Boliden (BDNNY) hat eine bedeutende Investition von 750 Millionen SEK in eine neue Paste-Anlage in seiner Mine Garpenberg angek眉ndigt, was den ersten Schritt zur Erweiterung der Produktion von 3,5 auf 4,5 Millionen Tonnen j盲hrlich darstellt. Die Anlage wird die Hinterf眉llungsoperationen verbessern, indem sie eine Mischung aus Tailings und Bindemittel verwendet, um das Gestein zu stabilisieren und die Erztonnage zu maximieren.
Das Unternehmen hat einen Antrag auf Genehmigung zur Erh枚hung der Produktion auf 4,5 Millionen Tonnen eingereicht. Die neue Paste-Anlage wird angrenzend an die bestehende Anlage gebaut, um Produktionsunterbrechungen zu minimieren, mit einer Fertigstellung, die f眉r 2026 erwartet wird. Eine weitere Expansion 眉ber das derzeit genehmigte Niveau von 3,5 Millionen Tonnen hinaus erfordert zus盲tzliche Entwicklungen in der Bergproduktion, im unterirdischen Ausbau und in der Infrastruktur f眉r den Erztransport.
Die Entscheidung folgt auf mehrere Jahre erfolgreicher Erkundung in Garpenberg, die zu einem verbesserten Zugang sowohl zu Mineralreserven als auch zu Mineralressourcen gef眉hrt hat. Konzeptstudien werden durchgef眉hrt, um potenzielle zuk眉nftige Produktionssteigerungen zu bewerten, die von Erweiterungen in der Bergproduktion, beim Heben, bei der Verarbeitung und bei der Kapazit盲t der Tailings-Anlagen abh盲ngen w眉rden.
- Major SEK 750M investment demonstrates commitment to growth
- Planned 29% production increase from 3.5M to 4.5M tonnes annually
- Several years of successful exploration improved mineral reserves access
- Strategic facility placement minimizes production disruptions
- Production increase still pending permit approval
- Additional infrastructure investments required beyond paste facility
- Gradual implementation means delayed full production capacity
- Current production to 3.5M tonnes until permit approval
"Garpenberg is a world-class deposit and the conditions for developing the mine are better than I have ever experienced before. This is a first step and gives us flexibility for the future to optimize production both in the short and long term," says Stefan Romedahl, President Business Area Mines.
In Garpenberg, several years of major exploration successes have meant that access to both Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources is very good. Studies have therefore been underway for some time on how best to develop the operations. As a first step, a permit application for a production increase to 4.5听Mtonnes has now been submitted and a decision has been made to replace a worn-out paste facility in parallel with increased production capacity. The investment amounts to a total of
However, to reach a production rate of 4.5 Mtonnes per year, further efforts are required, including development of mine production, underground development, ore transportation infrastructure as well as debottlenecking in the concentrator. If permission is granted for the production increase, it is therefore estimated that a gradual increase in production beyond the currently licensed level of 3.5 million tons could take place.
In parallel with the current decisions, concept studies are continuing to investigate the conditions for further future production increases, which in that case will be dependent on expansions of mine production, hoisting, processing and capacity of tailings facilities.
