Copperstone becomes Viscaria
Copperstone is changing its name and becoming one with its mine – a mine with a copper grade 60% higher than the global average
Welcome to Viscaria
An important contribution to the copper supply
Viscaria is scaling up to become a modern and responsible mining company through the reopening of the Viscaria mine in Kiruna. Viscaria’s goal is to become one of the world’s most sustainable copper producers.
Sustainable mining operations for the future
Mining activities impacts the environment. Through water purification, modern mining technology, energy-efficient infrastructure, and habitat restoration, we at Viscaria aim to compensate for and restore the environment continuously during and after our operations.
93 million tonnes
When Viscaria mine was closed down in 1997, three million tonnes of copper-bearing rock had been mapped. Today, 25 years and hundreds of boreholes later, the figure stands at 93 million tonnes – and our exploration work continues.
