Agnico Eagle Finland Oy and Tapojärvi sign partnership agreement

Tapojärvi and the Kittilä mine, operated by Agnico Eagle Finland Oy, have signed a five-year partnership agreement on mining support work. In the past, Agnico Eagle Finland Oy carried out bolting and netting work itself, but as production volumes grow, the company now wishes to supplement these by purchasing specialist mining services expertise externally, too.
“As conditions become more challenging in the underground mine, we have increased support work volumes and now we require more resources in this additional work. Finding out that this kind of expertise was available from a local company in the Lapland region was a fantastic surprise,” says the Kittilä mine’s General Manager Tommi Kankkunen.
