Björkdalsgruvan, Gold mine near Skellefteå, Sweden
The Björkdalsgruvan mining complex operates through a network of underground tunnels extending across 2,100 meters and reaching depths of 800 meters.
Mining operations commenced in 1983 after the discovery of gold deposits, leading to both open-pit and underground extraction until the transition to exclusive underground mining in 2019.
The mine represents a central element of northern Sweden's industrial heritage, providing employment and economic stability to the Skellefteå region for four decades.
The processing facility incorporates multiple crushers, ball mills, rod mills, and specialized circuits that produce four distinct gold concentrates for Swedish and German smelters.
The deposit contains gold within quartz veins associated with specific minerals including pyrite, actinolite, tourmaline, and biotite in the Skellefte Group sediments.
