(Håkansboda)
A copper- (cobalt) mine.
Mining started early 1400 during the reign of King Karl Knutsson, but very little is known from this period. Also King Gustav Vasa tried around 1540& 51 without any success. The main mining period were from 1702 until 1873, with minor mining during WW I.
The individual mines are from south to north: Sör-; Varp-; Märr-; Cecilia-; Kommers-; Smedje-; Lo- and Norr-gruvan. The biggest was Kommersgruvan (the "Business"-mine).
