The Kevitsa deposit in Sodankylä was discovered in 1987. It is one of the largest mineral discoveries in Finland. Production at the mine started in 2012.

Why you should visit it
Boliden Kevitsa is the largest open mine in Finland in terms of production volume. The mine's main products are nickel and copper concentrates, in addition to which it also produces significant amounts of platinum, palladium, gold and, to a lesser extent, cobalt. The ore concentrate is delivered to Boliden's own smelters.
