Kaunis Iron has been operating the iron ore mine in Pajala since 2018. With the help of strong local commitment, the ambition is to build a long-term and sustainable business. Among other things, this means running a mining business that uses its deep roots in the locality to create value for Norrbotten and contribute to the social development of Pajala, while simultaneously occupying a strong position in the global market. Kaunis Iron produces approximately 2.2 million tonnes of iron ore concentrate each year, whose unique composition, quality and environmental benefits have attracted high demand from the world’s steel mills.
