Our goal
Is the mine of tomorrow
A mine that shows the path for tomorrow`s sustainable mining
Over 100 years since it was founded, Anglo American is one of the largest mining companies in the world
The company’s diverse global mining activities produce crucial raw materials for just about every part of modern-day life. As a responsible operator, Anglo American is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2040. The company’s headquarters are in London.
Anglo American commenced ore exploration activities in the Lapland region of Finland in 2004. The first observations of Sakatti’s mineralisation were made in 2006, with the actual deposit being discovered in 2009.
The Sakatti deposit holds the important base metals of copper, nickel, and cobalt in addition to precious metals such as platinum, palladium, gold, and silver. The deposit is geologically special due to its high concentration of metal. Discoveries of ore such as that of Sakatti are rare and findings like these are only made a few times a century globally.
Our goal is to pave the way for sustainable mining operations in the future.
We commission new technologies and are constantly developing existing technologies. It is important for us to handle things in the right way. We want to be involved in creating a responsible way of working for the entire mining industry in Finland.
