1 May is Labour Day - a day to celebrate the achievements of workers. All of us here at Sydvaranger wish to congratulate everyone on this auspicious day – which we hope is celebrated in a safe and secure manner!

Despite previous efforts of asking the public to refrain from entering our operational areas in Kirkenes and Bjørnevatn as this is prohibited, unfortunately unauthorized entries still occur.

‍In line with the announcement in January, Sydvaranger is currently focused on completion of engineering work which both advances and secures the project for a restart. With this focus combined with resetting our start-up plans for 2021, we acknowledge that in the short term, we have some excess capacity in our skilled labor.

Cato Johansen and Kim-Goran Pettersen have decided to become Construction and Mining engineers, which Sydvaranger fully supports as it is of outmost importance for the Company to contribute to increase local skills and expertise.

Paul Inge Norkyn, who is currently employed as the Company´s Senior Process Engineer and who has been working for Sydvaranger throughout all production periods, was a key player in developing new products at the former AS Sydvaranger.
