There are many examples world-wide how mining contributes to sustainable regional development. The LKAB mining and processing of iron ore in the north of Sweden, in the Arctic Region, is such an example. The definition of sustainable mining is however not clear-cut and further studies are necessary to fully understand the impacts on economy, society and environment.
Key words: Sustainable mining / iron ore / sweden / cmpetitiveness / social impact / LKAB
