Pyhäsalmi Mine is located in Pyhäjärvi in Northern Ostrobothnia. The underground mine operation and processing of copper and zinc concentrates ended in August 2022. Pyhäsalmi Mine was the deepest metal ore mine in Europe. The closure of the underground mine is currently being carried out. We continue to produce pyrite concentrate from the material stored in the tailings area. Pyrite concentrate is used in the manufacture of fertilizers.
Pyhäsalmi Mine Oy is owned by Canadian First Quantum Minerals Ltd.
First Quantum Minerals conducts ore exploration in Finland, mainly in northern Finland, focusing on the exploration of copper-nickel ores. The ore exploration website can be found at Inmet Finland Explore.
