Worked in the period 1865-1968 on sulphide ore. A total of 9 Mt of fine-grained pyrite ore with small amounts of Zn/Cu has been produced during the periods 1865-1904 (by ?) and 1906-1968 (A/S Stordø Kisgruber).
The LiDAR map shows a group of quarries/adits/mines over a length of about 340 m.
A part of the mine is accessible to the publicum and there is a mining museum: http://www.gruo.no/
