Boliden's application for a mining concession for the Laver deposit has today
been granted by the Swedish Mining Authority. The concession grants the right to
extract copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum.
"We naturally welcome this news. The Laver deposit has the potential to make a
substantial contribution, particularly to Europe's copper supply. Further
development of the Laver deposit will now commence, including additional
exploration, technical studies, and environmental investigations", says Stefan
Romedahl, Director of Boliden Mines.
In addition to a mining concession, an environmental permit, including a Natura
2000 permit, is also required before a final investment decision can be made.
The decision to grant the mining concession application can be appealed to the
government within three weeks.
