Report of payments to government agencies 2020

This report has been prepared in accordance with Swedish law (2015:812) on the reporting of payments to government agencies and refers to the 2020 financial year. Boliden AB (publ) is presenting this report because the Boliden Group includes companies that conduct extractive industry operations. All extractive industry operations are conducted within Business Area Mines and the report consequently only details information relating to that Business Area.

In accordance with § 6 of the above mentioned law, all payments of amounts below SEK 860,000 have been omitted. Payments at project level are not reported because all payment obligations have arisen at company level.

All amounts are in SEK million.
