Gudvangen Stein - Frontpage

The large areas of anorthositic rocks situated in the picturesque parts of Inner Sognefjord in Western Norway have been well known amongst geologists for more than a century. Locally the anorthosite is referred to as 'kvitberg', i.e. 'white rock' since it develops a white weathering crust.

Gudvangen Stein produces anorthosite from its own mine in Gudvangen. The anorthosite deposit covers a total area of 700 km2 and is the largest anorthosite complex in Western Europe. The high aluminium content of these rocks has made them interesting for industrial purposes in several periods since shortly after WW1, and varied potential applications gives interesting future perspectives for the large volumes of this rare and close to mono-mineralic rock.

The acquisition of Gudvangen Stein is a strategic milestone for Nordic Mining. In addition to operating activity Gudvangen Stein has valuable competence that will contribute positively also for development of other projects in Nordic Mining.
