About Viscaria
Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria is a Swedish listed company that is scaling up to become a modern and responsible producing mining company through the reopening of the Viscaria mine in Kiruna. The high copper grade of the Viscaria deposit, the estimated mineral resources, the geographical location and our growing team of experts mean that the company is well placed to deliver quality copper. In addition to the Viscaria mine, the company has processing concessions and exploration permits in Arvidsjaur and Tvistbo.
