This morning I heard the news that Kiruna will be rebuild somewhere else. The mine might damage the town of 25.000 inhabitants. Cracks in the ground might damage the people living in it. This summer I was in Kiruna and in the mine. The guide there told that the plan was made that around in 2006 the decision has to be made whether to go on with mining or to stop.
Well, the board has made it's decision I think. Break down the whole city for 1.2 billion Euro's is cheaper than leaving the iron ore into the ground. There is plenty to go on mining for decades. LKAB mining company has a large net-profit so they can affort it.
