Norway is rich because of their isolationism policies and their oil and mineral wealth; it isn't sustainable in the long term. Swedish mining isn't as profitable as you'd expect, because the country is filled with low quality minerals such as zinc and iron and is controlled by larger industries.
The Swedish Kronor is very strong, and things are expensive in the country (think $10 for a Big Mac Meal). It's a real balancing act, but let me tell you right now where to invest. Instead of mineral industries, invest in wind power in the Baltic Region.
It seems to be the place to put your money, because the governments of Baltic Region countries are all putting subsidies into renewable energies, and construction of these wind farms is currently booming.
Also because it's always windy in the region due to the ever-converging high and low pressure systems in the region (Siberian highs in the winter, Icelandic lows and Azores highs in the summer).
Check out the Estonian island of Saaremaa, and the Turku/Åbo Archipelago. Google Åbo skärgård for opportunities in Swedish, if you need good translating don't hesitate to ask me as google translate is straight terrible with Swedish. Also Ostrobothnia in Northern Finland/Sweden is up and coming, although it is slightly poor right now.
