Tegengren (1924) mentions Yxsjöberg as a copper-tungsten deposit discovered in the year 1728.

Four claims exist (1924): Norra & Södra Yxsjögruvornas, Kvarnåsgruvan and Dammgruvan; Källgruvan, Bolagsgruvan, Kärrgruvan, Gäddan, Ricco, Åkergruvan, Nävergruvan, Kvarnåsgruvan and Norra Kärrgruvan are as well mentioned in the text (gruva = mine).

Intermittently mined, depending on the copper price.

During WWI, the mines became interesting again due to the tungsten and fluorite grades. A processing plant was quickly built, but already in 1920 the mines closed due to the low market prices.

The mine reopened in 1936 and a new plant was built.

Fluorite concentrate started to be produced in 1956.

Due to falling tungsten prices, the mine closed in 1963 and became water-filled.

AB Statsgruvor bought the property in 1969 and production restarted in 1972.

Output in 1984 was 160,000 tons of fluorspar.

Mining ceased again in the summer of 1989 due to falling W-prices.

Mining was done by sublevel stoping & cut-and-fill mining procedures. Workings are at least 600 meters deep.
