Facilitated by Epiroc, a leader in the exploration drilling and manufacturing, we are excited to announce that Smart Exploration Research Center and Nordic Iron Ore AB have teamed up for targeting promising seismic features through a deep drilling program aimed at exploring intriguing reflection seismic features identified in the Blötberget exploration permits and mining concession. … Continue reading Drilling Program in Blötberget
Global competition for REE is intensifying as climate goals drive record demand for critical metals. At the same time, China dominates production, prompting the Western world to seek new suppliers. Nordic Iron Ore (NIO) sees an opportunity to contribute by exploring the potential for REE as by-products in our iron ore projects. We do not … Continue reading Why is Nordic Iron Ore focusing on rare earth elements (REE)?
Iron ore mining has long been a cornerstone of Ludvika’s history, and now it stands on the verge of a revival. In Blötberget, a deep drilling programme is underway, seeking to explore and add mineral resources to the already known deposits. “Our ultimate goal is to produce ultra-high-grade iron ore concentrate. Previous tests show that … Continue reading Thank You, Ludvika kommun, for Visiting Blötberget!
Watch as rock cores are extracted, analyzed, and stored, offering insights into the hidden secrets of this historic mining area.
The project, funded by Vinnova through the Impact Innovation Metals & Minerals program, explores whether the mineral magnetite can be used as an indicator to locate rare earth elements (REE) in the mineral-rich Bergslagen region. Goals and Expected Results The project analyzes trace elements and isotopes in magnetite from drill cores at Blötberget, with the … Continue reading Innovative Research in Collaboration with Nordic Iron Ore and Stockholm University
The Garpenberg mine shares similarities with our planned underground mine in Blötberget, particularly in terms of mined and milled volumes – an exciting parallel for us as we work towards the future of responsible mining operations. A big thank you to Boliden and Pär Göting, as well as the whole team engaged in the visit, … Continue reading An Inspiring Day in Garpenberg

Using an underwater robot (ROV), we have inspected Bergslagsschaktet in the Blötberget mine at depths of 230 and 340 meters, confirming an important addition to the ore reserve. The investigation revealed that there is more ore remaining in the mine than we previously knew! The investigation took place between November 4th and 6th, and we … Continue reading New discovery: Significant ore deposit confirmed at depth
Participants had the opportunity to visit the sand storage facility where Smart Exploration Research Center, in collaboration with Nordic Iron Ore AB, conducted a groundbreaking pilot study. Utilizing fiber-optic sensors and advanced seismic surveys, the condition of the historical mining waste was explored. After the tour of the sand storage facility, participants gained insight into … Continue reading Inspiration and Innovation in Blötberget
