The area nowadays comprises the Renström and Kristineberg underground mines and the Maurliden and Maurliden Östra open pit mines. Work on a new tailings pond, the Hötjärn tailings pond, has now been completed and the pond will become operational during 2011. All of the mines produce complex ore that contains zinc, copper, lead, gold and silver. Exploration successes have gradually increased the Boliden Area’s lifespan.
