Mining plays a major role as a source of national income and employment for Kiruna and the surrounding region. As with most of Northern [[Sweden]] the area is rich with [[magnetite]] which is mined to produce various [[iron ore]] products which are then transported by rail to [[Narvik]] port in [[Norway]] to be shipped to customers around the world. Large-scale mining in Kiruna started in the 19th century right around the time the major [[Sweden|Swedish]] mining company [[LKAB]] was founded in 1890.<ref name=mining>{{cite web |url=https://www.lkab.com/sv/om-lkab/lkab-i-korthet/var-historia/ |title=Det börjar med järnet |publisher=LKAB |access-date=6 May 2018 |archive-date=6 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201106142351/https://www.lkab.com/sv/om-lkab/lkab-i-korthet/var-historia/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
