geographically speaking- Hebbersfors quarry and Björkdal (gold mine) is the same place.
From ~1936 until May 1977 when the quarry& the lime oven was closed, limestone was produced by the Västerbottens kalkbruksförening here.
The name of the quarry was Hebbersfors and the brand name of their product "Hebbersfors kalk".
In ~1986 the Swedish company Terra Mining AB sent in an application to authorities with the aim to open a gold mine "Björkdal" at this place. Why did they choose this name?? Camouflage? Just a few km E is another old limestone quarry having the original name of Björkdal.
