In 1800 an iron ore deposit was discovered and mining began in 1804. Till the closure in 1917, 1500 tonnes of iron ore were mined. Several new minerals were discovered in that mine.[2] For example Christian Wilhelm Blomstrand discovered berlinite trolleite augelite attacolite, kirrolite and westanite in 1868 in the iron mine.[3]
