Tallnäs Mines
The mines at Tallnäset have somewhat confusing names. Information was compared from historical records, the Persberg ore district, and several maps to determine the correct names.
Stora Tallnäs Mine
Location: NW of the intersection Gruvstationsvägen – Högbergsvägen. The road has experienced settlements and collapses several times.
History:
-
1789: The mine had been worked previously but is mentioned for the first time in records this year. Abandoned due to heavy water influx and poor ore supply. Depth: ~43 m, length: ~9 m.
-
1798: A hoisting shaft constructed, likely for easier ore transport.
-
1800–1806: Work at the mine suspended.
-
1814: The mechanical hoist (“konst”) moved here from Lilla Tallnäs Mine.
-
1816: Depth reached ~54 m.
-
1818: The company merged with Malmbergskärr Company, hoist relocated; mine abandoned.
Lilla Tallnäs Mine
-
1813: Hoist installed, powered by a wheel in Yngshytte River. Depth: ~28 m, width: ~2.5 m.
-
1814: Only a narrow ore vein remained at the bottom. Mining ceased. Hoist moved to Stora Tallnäs Mine.
Västra Tallnäs Mine
Location: SO of the intersection Tallnäsvägen – Högbergsvägen.
History:
-
1794: First mentioned; depth ~14 m.
-
1798: Bottom ~12 m long; ore of “astonishing thickness.”
-
1871: Henceforth referred to as Tallnäs Mine; reopened from disuse.
-
1872: Bottom reached; found ~1.8 m wide rich ore vein. Depth ~85 m.
-
1875: Work stopped due to lack of power.
-
1878: Mining resumed later in the year.
-
1880: Ore still good, but work stopped due to poor hoist tunnel and limited water supply.
-
1881: No work.
-
1882: Bottom ore-bearing but limited work due to strong water inflow.
-
1884: Water inflow made mining unprofitable; work stopped in July.
