Sweden – one of the European Unions Major Mining Centres
A. Excellent ore potential 1,000 year mining history Largest producer of iron ore in the EU Leading producer of base metals – copper, zinc and lead Leading producer of precious metals – gold and silver
B. Under-explored by modern standards
C. Political and economic stabilityRanked 12th in the 2009 World Risk Survey (WA ranked 12th)
D. Excellent infrastructure
E. Favourable minerals legislationInitial exploration permit 3 years – maximum 15 yearsInitial exploitation concessions 25 years – rolling 10 year extensionsGovernment royalty 0.2% of average value of minerals mined
F. Low corporate taxCorporate tax rate 28%
G. World –class databasesSGU Mineral resources Information Office in Mala
H. Mining know-how and highly trained personnelGlobal leaders in supply of mining technology

Sweden - very large mines
1. Kiruna Iron Mine (owned by LKAB)1. 2Bt iron mine2. Production in 2007 was 24.7Mt (76% pellets) 3. Production for 1st three quarters of 2008 was 18Mt4. SEK6 billion concentrator and pelletising plant produced first pellets in May
2008 5. Recent decision to invest SEK12.4 billion into a new main level6. Town must be moved at cost of SEK12.5 billion7. Capacity to produce 30Mt/y of pellets8. Mining in Kiruna secure through to 2035
2. Aitik Copper Mine (owned by Boliden)1. one of Europe's largest producers of copper, and also a major producer
of gold and silver2. Aitik has produced almost 430 Mt of ore (to 2007) . 3. 389 Mt of proven ore reserves grading 0.2 g/t gold, 2 g/t silver and 0.29%
copper (as at January 2008) 4. 221 Mt of probable ore reserves grading 0.1 g/t gold, 2 g/t silver and
0.28% copper5. Measured and indicated mineral resources amount to an additional 1048
Mt6. Increasing copper production from 18Mt/y to 36Mt/y7. Investment in new concentrator and mining plant is SEK6 billion8. The mine and its concentrator started operating in 1968.

Sweden – active exploration
1. Only the Swedish State permitted to conduct exploration until 1992
2. Now more than 100 exploration companies now active in Sweden including:Anglo AmericanPhelps DodgeRio TintoTeck Cominco
3. Australian listed companies active in Scandinavia include:Dragon Mining Ltd (ASX:DRA)Avalon Minerals Ltd (ASX:AVI)Aura Energy Ltd (ASX:AEE)Northern Iron Ltd (ASX:NFE)Vulcan Limited (ASX:VCN)Golden Rim Resources Ltd (ASX:GMR)
3. US$92 million spent on exploration in 2007 (US$49:2006)

Sweden – outstanding exploration data
Geological Survey of Sweden is the Swedish central government agency responsible for all matters relating to Swedish geology
SGU Mineral Resources Information Office serves as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for everyone conducting exploration in Sweden – established 1993
All government data plus data from private exploration has been merged and stored in archives and databases1. >8,000 exploration reports2. 100,000 maps of various kinds3. Drill core and drill hole logs4. Field notes etc5. 20,000 mineralised boulders6. >4,000km of drill core
SGU offers explorers:1. Aerial geophysical data covering al of Sweden (magnetic radiation and
electromagnetic)2. Ground geophysical data (magnetic, electromagnetic, gravity and petrophysical)3. Geochemical data (soils, stream peat, stream sediment and bedrock)4. Bedrock data (rock type distribution, age, chemical and mineralogical composition,
tectonics and mineral deposits)
