According to Boliden’s mining manager Erik Fjällström, the accident occurred outside the mining area itself. He states that the deceased man worked for a contractor who often performs work for the mine.
– A case is involved, but it is the contractor who investigates how it happened, says the mine manager to the newspaper.
Personnel at the mine have been informed of the incident. The head of the contractor has declined to comment, but tells Norran that the incident has been reported to the Work Environment Agency.
Barely two weeks ago, a 20-year-old woman died after being hit by a dump truck at LKAB’s mine in Kiruna.
