LKAB’s Malmberget mine is not only one of the largest SLC mines in the world, but it is also one of the most complex, where between 10 and 15 orebodies are mined simultaneously. The subvertical orebodies are generally stacked, where one orebody is on the footwall or the hangingwall of the other. Thi...
