16 October 2024, Zinkgruvan Mining AB, Sweden
Visit of the Zinkgruvan Mine and Meeting with Personnel and Mine Management
Agenda
On 16 October 2024, the ESSnuSB+ Executive Committee was invited by Zinkgruvan Mining AB, part of the Lundin Mining Group, to visit the Zinkgruvan mine which is considered the oldest mine in Sweden, having been in continuous production since 1857. First, the Committee visited the mine at a depth of 1300 meters underground. Then, they were introduced to the different mining activities and they finally had a meeting with members of the Zinkgruvan leadership team to present the ESSnuSB+ project. See video on the mine.
