We are pleased that so many mining experts participated during the 9th International Conference and Exhibition on Mass Mining in northern Sweden. 

Kiruna, where the city and the mine are intertwined, has likely never seen such a gathering of mining enthusiasts. As often happens in the world of mining, this event can be summed up as groundbreaking.

Over the five days of the conference and exhibition, business seamlessly blended with pleasure. One of the most unforgettable evenings was the dinner at the Icehotel, where the icy cold met the warmth of joy and laughter.

We've captured moments from that evening and are delighted to share them with you.

About Kiruna

Located north of the Arctic Circle, Kiruna resides within Swedish Lapland, an enormous area covering about a quarter of Sweden. Its unique blend of natural wonders, cultural heritage and industrial innovation makes it a destination unlike any other.

Home to the world’s largest underground iron ore mine, Kiruna is the heart of Sweden's mining industry and at the forefront of an innovative green transition. Here, sustainability and progress go hand in hand, driving forward the industries of the future.

The city of Kiruna, which grew around the iron mine, is now in the midst of a remarkable urban transformation. It’s perhaps the only place in the world where you'll commonly see morning traffic delayed by moving houses. The reason being that the entire city of Kiruna is relocating. Its new city centre opened in 2022.

Whether you're drawn by Kiruna's breathtaking nature, its intriguing history, or its innovative spirit, we hope you experienced the magic of this unique city during your time at MassMin 2024. Welcome back!
