Epigenetic deposit of massive sulphides with well-defined silica development in greenstone-hosted shear zones.
The Svartliden Gold Mine was brought into production in March 2005 and has produced 230,363 ounces of gold in total as at 30 June 2010. Mining was completed in late 2013.

Mining at Svartliden commenced as an open pit operation in 2004, with underground operations starting in 2011. Open-pit and underground mining were carried out in tandem until the completion of open-pit mining in April 2013. Underground mining was completed by the end of 2013.
