Pajsbergsgruvan, Pajsberg, Persbergs malmtrakt, Filipstad, Värmland, Sverige
The Pajsberg Mine was already known in the 17th century but due to the poor quality of the resulting iron there where no big demand for this ore. Only after Igelström discovered hausmannite here ores from Pajsberg became interesting.
When the mine closed in 1887 the manganese ores had diminished to almost nothing. 113 meter deep and 2x20 meter in area at bottom.
Total production of 8475 t iron ore and 3535 t manganese ore.
