Mineral Resources Information Office

The Mineral Resources Information Office is a regional office within the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) that is located in Malå, Västerbotten county. Its commission is to store and supply exploration-related information and data from Sweden.

The archives contain all material from the former state-financed exploration as well as private prospecting and cover all aspects of modern exploration including, for example, exploration reports, low altitude air-borne geophysics, ground geophysics, and till geochemistry. The Swedish "National drill core archive" is also located in Malå – a large collection of more than 3,500,000 m of drill core (around 17,000 DDH) from all over Sweden.
