The detailed planning work will take place in partial stages
The planned mining area consists of the Niska South, Niska North, Nunasvaara South and Nunasvaara North deposits. The County Administrative Board has deemed it appropriate to divide the detailed planning work into two stages, Nunasvaara South and Nunasvaara North.
Deletapp 1, Nunasvaara södra
Work is now underway to develop a proposal for a detailed plan for sub-stage 1, Nunasvaara South. The preliminary drainage of the planning area includes the area where the company has already been granted an environmental permit and the road area up to the E45 (part of Nunasvaaravägen).
Stage 2, Nunasvaara North
Stage 2 consists of
Niska South, Niska North and Nunasvaara North. The County Administrative Board is investigating how planning of the area can be carried out in the best way.
Planprocess
The work on the detailed plan is conducted with an extended procedure in accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Building Act. For more information on what the planning process looks like in an extended planning procedure:
The process for extended procedure, PBL knowledge bank, Boverket External link.
The planning process began in 2020 by Kiruna municipality. A proposal for a detailed plan for the area has been shown for consultation in 2021 and review during May-June 2025. As the main purpose and conditions of the plan proposal have not changed, we assess that the planning process that has begun can continue.
New legislation
Due to changes in the legislation, we assess that previous environmental assessments need to be supplemented in order to meet formal requirements.
A decision on a supplementary investigation and delimitation consultation will be made shortly.
