Abstract:
Utredningen om tahlbåndene og gangene i Kongsbergfeltet og om gruvene på Underberget og Overberget er basert på Sølverkets gamle og nye litteratur, de foreliggende geologiske detaljkarter og de som undertegnede utarbeidet i tiden 1921 - 1929. I beskrivelsen av gruvene har undertegnede forsøkt å gi en oversikt over hver enkelt gruves historie, verdi og fremtidsmuligheter.
