Today the Land and Environment Court granted Boliden permission to increase production at the Aitik Mine to 45 million tonnes of ore per year and to carry out such raising of the dams that are required for the continued tailings disposal.

- We are happy about the new permit but we see that there are strict environmental requirements in the permit conditions and we need to analyze the judgement more closely to determine what consequences this might have, says Björn Koorem, General Manager Boliden Aitik.
