- Business
- Botnia Gold AB (publ) engages in the exploration and small-scale mining of precious and base metals, primarily gold, in Sweden. The company holds one environmental permit for mining, four exploration permits, and two processing concessions for its gold and sulphide ore projects located in the Vindelgransele area of Västerbotten county; key assets include the Fäbodtjärn and Vargbäcken mines, where it conducts prospecting, extraction, and processing activities focused on gold production and base metal development. Botnia Gold AB (publ) operates exclusively in Sweden, targeting regional mineral-rich deposits with a strategy emphasizing small-scale, locally beneficial mining operations for industry partners and local communities.
Founded in 2007 by Bengt Ljung and headquartered in Nacka Strand, the company maintains a lean structure with approximately five employees and pursues collaborations with other industry players to advance deposit development into operational mines.
In August 2025, Botnia Gold AB (publ) completed its name change from Botnia Exploration Holding AB (publ), following approval by the Swedish Companies Registration Office and an extraordinary general meeting resolution, with shares trading under the new ticker BOTX on Nasdaq First North Stockholm; this rebranding aligns with its sharpened focus on gold mining amid ongoing exploration and production at its permitted sites.
