Hi, I'm going to review this article.

Prose

There are statements that read like marketing-speak, such as The primary goal was to find and develop new markets and diversified its operations. There are more neutral ways to state what the company was established for.
The top lead paragraph does not summarize the article. It is too short and does not discuss products beyond iron ore.
History is very sparse. There has to be more than just "it was established as Minelco AB in 1989".

References

Reference list fits the manual of style. Y
There is confusion in the sources used between LKAB (the state-owned mining company) and LKAB Minerals the subsidiary.
No copyright violations found. Y
Many references used are press releases or are published by LKAB Minerals themselves. They are not independent sources of the company and cannot reliably be used to source claims that are made here.

Images

The image of the chalk plant is used appropriately, but the logo is not. It has to be uploaded to English Wikipedia and not Commons since it is not public domain.

Other notes

Page seems stable and has no edit wars. Y
There is just not much substance to this article. There are many things hinted at in the infobox, image caption, history that are not elucidated upon, such as the manufacture and processing of chalk, GGBS, huntite, or the identities of any of the people involved in the company. I have had to fail this Good Article nomination because it is in no way broad enough to encompass even some of the presumably available information about a company that has existed for 3 decades and is easily confused for its parent company.
