  1. Mining, Ores and Mineralsin Finland

  2. Contents What is being mined? the most important ores and minerals mines and quarries unexploited resources enrichment and smelting recycling

  3. Mined Goods Stone and plain rock crushed stone sand gravel Ores (metals) Minerals 100 000 000 000 kga year 20 000 000 000 kga year

  4. Stone and plain rock

  5. Ores Finland has a significant part in production of chromium (used for coating other metals) nickel (steel, batteries) gold (jewellery) hi-tech metals (electronics) Other ores include cobalt copper silver zinc Cr Ni Au Co Cu Ag Zn

  6. Minerals Limestone Dolomite Apatite Talc Quartz Feldspar Minerals can be used for example in fertilizers, chemistry and jewellery. Limestone is used in construction.

  7. Mines and quarries In 2007 in Finland there were 10 ore mines 16 limestone mines or quarries 20 mineral or rock quarries These mines employ about 14 000 people.

  8. Iron mining is being planned. Chromium is rare. Finland is an important producer of it. Talvivaara is the world's largest nickel producer. It is also the first mine in Finland to receive permission for gathering uranium in 2012. In 2012 there was discussion about environmental questions and Talvivaara. Gold is being mined all the way from north to south! In this mine lies the deepest sauna in Finland! It is 1400 metres underground.

  9. Unexploited resources Uranium A Finnish mining company Talvivaaran Kaivososakeyhtiö Oyj has received permission to begin gathering uranium. Lithium has just been found in Finnish ground will become more important as it is the material for electric cars and batteries Iron

  10. Enrichment and smelting Importation of ores for enrichment Iron ore from Sweden and Russia made into steel Nickel A lot of nickel is imported from other countries even though Finland does mine a lot of it itself.

  11. Recycling and reuse of metalsin Finland well-organized efficient better option thansmelting new metal saves 60–95 % energy Aluminium recycling in finland is top-quality.
