Kolar’s Hannukainen iron mine project and its neighboring Kaunisvaara mine in Sweden are in the area affected by an earthquake-sensitive line running from southwest to northeast.
Lapland’s ely center drew attention to the earthquake risk of waste dams in a statement about the Hannukainen mining project.
– For the construction of mines, it is necessary to make risk assessments, to be prepared. If you are in sensitive areas where there are these lines of transmission, then of course you have to pay attention to things. On the other hand, it makes it easier when you are far from transmission lines.

According to Sutinen, attention should be paid to the matter, just as Lapland’s ely center did in its statement to Tukes.
Kittilä’s Suurikuusiko gold mine with its waste basin also falls on an earthquake-prone line. On the other hand, the Sokli mining project in Savukoski and the Kevitsa mine and the Sakatti mining project in Viiankiaava are far from earthquake zones, according to Sutinen. It is at least 140 kilometers from Sokli, dozens of kilometers from Kevitsa and Sakati.
