LKAB (Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag) is a Swedish mining company. The company is mining iron ore in mines at Kiruna and at Malmberget in northern Sweden. The company was established in 1890, and it is 100% state-owned since the 1950s. The iron ore is processed to pellets and fines, and are transported by train (Malmbanan) to the harbours at Narvik and Luleaand to the steel mills at Lulea (SSAB).
The iron ore products are mainly sold to European steel mills. Other important markets are North Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Industrial minerals are sold mainly in Europe, but also in Asia and the USA.
LKAB has more than 3,800 employees, of which more than 600 are outside of Sweden. There are iron ore mines, processing plants and ore harbors in northern Sweden and Norway, sales office in Belgium, Germany and Singapore. LKAB has subsidiaries for industrial minerals with processing plants in Sweden, Finland, Greenland, the UK, the Netherlands, Greece, Turkey and China. Additional subsidiaries are in Germany, the USA and Hong Kong as well as representative offices in Slovakia and Thailand.
LKAB’s chief assets are the magnetite ore of the Orefields of northern Sweden. LKAB is owned by the Swedish Government. LKAB's corporate headquarters are in Lulea and the main production sites are in Kiruna and Malmberget, close to Gallivare. The ore is partially processed on site, and is transported by freight train on Malmbanan to either Narvik or Lulea depending on final destination.

direct reduction.
Pellets are sintered, centimeter-sized spheres of ore with a high iron content and uniform quality.
   LKAB produces two varieties of pellets: blast furnace pellets and direct reduction pellets (DR pellets). Blast furnace pellets are used in the coke-based blast furnace process, which is the most common method of producing hot metal (molten iron for steelmaking). Blast furnace pellets are delivered mainly to steel mills in Europe.
   DR pellets are used in the direct reduction process to produce sponge iron, which in an alternative process route, is also an initial stage in the chain of production from iron to steel. The DR process is based on the use of natural gas and has become increasingly common in oil-producing countries and other countries with access to inexpensive natural gas.
   Fines – or sinter fines – is a fine, iron-rich powder that must be sintered to larger pieces (lumps) before it can be used in the blast furnace.
   Products are developed in close collaboration with customers, through technical service in customers’ production processes, or using LKAB’s own experimental blast furnace.
   LKAB’s ore has high iron content and consists mainly of magnetite. It requires lower energy input during processing, which results in lower carbon dioxide emissions. It is therefore more environmentally friendly than other ores.
2 Steel construction
Engineering company KGS Mekaniska manufactures steel structures and steel components.
3 Experimental blast furnace
LKAB’s experimental blast furnace in Lulea is strategically important for research and development.
   Thanks to the EBF, we can learn more about how our products perform in the blast furnace. We can also develop better methods for laboratory testing and learn how different operating parameters influence the process. The EBF allows us to take samples of the charge material during operation, and at the end of a campaign the furnace can be quenched and dug out for subsequent analysis.
   The EBF is the most modern test facility of its kind in the world, and the steel industry has shown a great interest. The furnace gives us many different options for product development. Many of the risks involved in full-scale trials in a production blast furnace can be avoided.

卢基矿业公司成立于1890年，总部位于瑞典，是全球第六大铁矿石生产商，所产铁矿石主要满足欧洲市场的需求。2004年卢基矿业公司铁矿石产量达到2230万吨，同比增长3.7%，出口量为1720万吨，同比增长7.5%。

2009年，欧洲最大的铁矿石开采商LKAB与德国钢铁企业达成协议，本财年球团矿协议价将在去年基础上降低48.3%，新价格为126.43美分/吨度（FOB）。与今年其它企业达成协议一致。
瑞典LKAB公司每年可生产2800万吨铁矿石，球团矿平均含铁量接近67%，直接还原用球团矿含铁量接近68%。同时，该公司每年还向2到3家客户供应200-300万吨含铁量约70%的粉矿。
