The mining company Kaunis Iron receives permission to continue to operate, and to expand, its operations in the mine in Kaunisvaara outside Pajala. Kaunis Iron gets the right in the Land and Environment Court to continue mining iron ore in the mine in Kaunisvaara outside Pajala. That’s what the land and environmental court in Umeå writes in a judgment on Thursday. In addition to an extended permit, Kaunis Iron has also applied to open two new open pits and also expand certain facilities in the mining area. The court also says yes to that. The permit is valid for 35 years and includes the mining of a maximum of 10 million tons of iron ore per year, corresponding to approximately 4 million tons of iron slag.
