Closed mine of apatite bearing iron ore (test mining 1913-1920, active 1939-1965). Future potential only as by-product of iron-production. 3.02 wt% P2O5. In total 700108 t ore were produced from the mine. (Myhra 1967) No estimates of remaining apatite tonnages have been performed; thus, the size of this potential resource is still unknown. |
