A group of at least 7 small copper mines/prospects, operated in the periods 1901-09, 1911 and 1916.
In the period 1901-11 a total of 1,4 tons of ore were extracted, yielding 180 tons of copper.
The ore was transported with horses to Valle, from there with pram to Finneid, and finally to the smelter in Sultjelma for the extraction of the copper.
The coordinates are for the main mine, while the others are located at:
Prospect 1: 67.3260570,14.7178770
Nergruva: 67.3272240,14.7190250
Prospect 3: 67.3288330,14.7155180
Prospect 4: 67.3292820,14.7157450 (visible)
Prospect 5: 67.3303570,14.7143390 (visible)
Prospect 6: 67.3315260,14.7154880

The NGU report mentions a Øvergruva mine at UTM33 487830 7468210 with a 500m3 dump. How this relates to the listed mines/prospects listed further below in the report, is not completely clear, and requires further study (RW, Oct. 2021, not one of my objectives).
