Mining Company Nussir Resumes Tunnel Work in Northern Norway The mining company Nussir has resumed work in the copper mine in Hammerfest, Northern Norway, after pausing it on June 16th.
Mining in Northern Norway Started Ahead of Schedule - Then Put on Hold On June 16th, Canadian Blue Moon Metals announced that it had started underground construction of the Nussir mine in Finnmark and thereby completed its first blast ahead of schedule. Shortly after, all operations were paused until further notice.
Nussir Has Several New Interested Copper Buyers “We have several interested buyers, and we have had that the whole time. When Aurubis was offered the Letter of Intent, it was in sharp competition with other actors”, says Nussir CEO Øystein Rushfeldt.
The Green Shift Needs the Mineral Industry, Says Linda Haukland (KrF) “If we are to continue having a technological development, we will have to extract the metals needed for mobile phones, electric cars, windmills, and batteries”, says Nordland County Councilor for Planning and Industry Linda Haukland.
Nussir, LNS and Kimek Hope to Commence in First Quarter of 2021 “We really believe in Nussir and the people behind this project. We also believe in the future development of the price of copper, and we believe in developing the region in which this project will take place”, says CEO of LNS, Jonas Tetlie.
Nussir Collects NOK 80 Million from North Norwegian Investors “This is a historic milestone for Nussir, both through managing to raise enough capital to start the initial work for construction, and through having raised 100 percent local capital and thus increased North Nowegian ownership of Nussir ASA”, the company writes in a press release.
Nussir Still Needs Important Permission The Norwegian Directorate of Environment has not yet given Nussir, a mining company, permission to use the flotation chemical SIPX, which is used in the extraction of copper ore. The company expects a positive reply this autumn, whereas Friends of the Earth Norway argues that any permission for emissions of this material would be irresponsible.
Nussir Signs Billion Deal with LNS The Norwegian mining company Nussir ASA has selected Leonard Nilsen & Sons (LNS) to be the contractor for mine construction and underground operations. The contract negotiations are expected to be finalized in shortly.
When the “Completely Honest” Hurtigruten Uses the Police to Shield it from the Public Commentary: While the British company Hurtigurten ASA pushes the police before itself as a shield and makes itself unavailable for public scrutiny, companies with North Norwegian roots deliver results that are out of this world. Even internationally, an arena where – sadly – Hurtigruten is still the company placing Northern Norway on the map.
Nussir Hopes to Commence Mining in 2020 “We have been visionary. The preparations for this construction were already funded before the pandemic hit. What we are curious to see now, is how fast the capital markets are normalized”, says Managing Director Øystein Rushfeldt of Nussir ASA to High North News.
Nussir Gets Operating License – Environmental Organisations Rage The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheres has decided to give Nussir ASA an operating license for copper mining in Kvalsund municipality. – This mining project will strengthen the foundations for business and industry in the High North, says Minister of Trade and Industry Torbjørn Røe Isaksen (Conservatives).
