Some of our team members are today performing work at height. Stefan H. Norbeck and Kristian P. Reisænen, in cooperation with IT-administrator, Albert Karikoski, are mounting cameras on various parts of our operating areas.

It is Friday and the weekend is quickly approaching, but Anatolij Anisimenko (to the left) and Dmitriy Mazurov continue to perform maintenance tasks in the crushing plant. Although they are both looking forward to the company being fully up running, they´ve got more than enough work to do on a daily basis.

To ensure the plant is ready for a restart of operations when the time comes, our Care- & Maintenance department is conducting a wide range of jobs on a daily basis. The attitude and focus the TEAM is displaying is truly inspiring, being given work tasks that can be both mundane and leave them completely covered in dust and dirt. The reward for all this hard work is, however, being able to provide the local community with additional work places, apprenticeship programs, increase local skills and support growth.Check out what a normal work day for this team looks like‍

As a company we wish to contribute to build and strengthen local skills and expertise, and our goal is for the work force to consist of at least 10% apprentices at any time

Sydvaranger received the mining concession from the Norwegian Ministry of Trade on March 19th. The permit provides the predictability necessary for long-term sustainable operations.

Sydvaranger AS is pleased to announce that it has closed a financing with Orion Mine Finance, which is Orion’s first step in supporting the continued development of the Sydvaranger iron project toward a restart of operations during 2019. Contingent upon final permitting with satisfactory terms being received soon and subject to the final approval of Orion’s Investment Committee, Sydvaranger expects Orion’s increased involvement.
