The mine is registered in the dateabases of NGU (Geological Survey of Norway), see link under "other databases" below.
Ronald Werner Commentary:
"The NGU report does not say when this mine was operated, but judging from the fresh surface at one of the picture, it can be concluded that a short time before the picture was taken, there was some form of mining.
This is confirmed by aerial pictures. Not before 2007 there are any signs of mining in this area.
If there was any mining before, it must have been a long time before 1970, since there is no sign of any activity at the aerial picture".
The graphite vein is 1 to 3 m wide.
