Documented mining dates back to the 8th century AD. Today this region is the most important metallic mining district of the European Union. Metals are produced from active mines in all countries except Iceland and related industries are thriving in all countries. Important ore deposit types include： volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits （Cu, Zn, Pb, Au, Ag）, orogenic gold deposits （Au）, layered intrusions （Ni, PGE, Ti±V）, intrusive hosted Cu-Au, apatite-Fe deposits, Cr- and anorthosite hosted Ti deposits. Besides these well- documented deposits, new kinds of deposits are being explored, e.g., iron oxide-copper-gold （IOCG）, shale-hosted Ni-Zn-Cu and different types of uranium deposits.展开更多

The industrial minerals sector is expanding in most Nordic countries and extensive development has taken place during the last few years. The main commodities mined are carbonate rocks, quartz, feldspar, apatite, olivine and talc. A number of diferent types of dimension stones are quarried in all countries. Rock aggregates are increasingly important, replacing sand and gravel aggregate as construction materials in some countries due to the need to protect ground water supplies.展开更多
