Extract from the Reports on Filipstad Mining District: Reginagruvan
History and Operations
Reginagruvan began operations in 1871, located southeast of Lindbergshage Mine. Initial excavations revealed scattered ore patches in the rock and limestone.
-
1871: Ore gradually concentrated after a few fathoms of excavation.
-
1872: Ore proved clean and rich, often containing garnet and malacolite; a level southwest followed the ore boundary.
-
1873: Ore decreased rather than increased and continued under the hanging wall toward the southeast; ore appeared scattered in the rock.
-
1874: The mine was closed due to limited ore and poor vein quality; a northeastern ore lump was extracted.
-
1875: Ore was only extracted by contract at the southwestern level; all work was then stopped.
-
1876: After closure, a smaller amount of ore left in daylight was mined, totaling 890 centners.
Waterwheel Power
Reginagruvan was powered by Lindbergshagefallet, located about 250 meters northwest of the mine.
Mine Depth
The mine depth at abandonment was 35 meters
