More press releases & news
Den onormalt höga seismiska aktiviteten i Garpenberg har minskat och gruvproduktion på låga nivåer kommer påbörjas under det andra kvartalet. Genomsättningen för det första kvartalet blev knappt 0.8 Mton istället för som förväntat drygt 0.9 Mton till redan kommunicerade halter. Samtliga inspektioner är ännu inte färdigställda men produktion i den mest berörda delen av gruvan bedöms inte kunna återupptas under 2026. Fram till att annat meddelas beräknas Garpenbergs produktion därför uppgå till omkring 30 procent av guidad kapacitet på 3.7 Mton per år. För första kvartalet 2026 påverkas EBITDA negativt med cirka -400 MSEK med dagens priser och villkor.
Boliden har beslutat att investera i ett nytt uppfordringsschakt vid Garpenberg och en industriell demonstrationsanläggning för produktion av cementersättning vid Rönnskär. Investeringarna, som uppgår till 4 miljarder SEK respektive 1,5 miljarder SEK, kommer att stärka båda enheternas resultatförmåga och lägga grunden för att utnyttja ytterligare framtida möjligheter.
