Outokumpu Oy decided, in 2000, to focus its operations in the Nordic countries on stainless steel and to
withdraw from mining in Norway and Finland (though retaining ownership of the Kemi chromite mine). The
Nikkel og Olivin mine at Bruvann was closed in 2002 after thirteen years of operation. Scandinavian Highlands
(2013), who subsequently held the rights to the deposit (see below), cited Nikkel og Olivin as stating that "the
Bruvann Ni-Cu-Co mine ... has a remaining inferred resource of 9.15 Mt grading 0.36% Ni (0.3% cut off), 0.1%
Cu and 0.02% Co".) It has been estimated that the annual production had a Ni metal content of 3,000 t.
Scandinavian Highlands have also stated that: "The total mined tonnage from 1989 to 2001 was 8.2 Mt with a
grade of 0.52% Ni and a cut off in the range 0.43−0.47 depending on the nickel price."
