Old iron and cerium mine. Disseminated magnetite-amphibole skarn replacement in marble.

Located between Fagersta and Norberg on the northern side of the St. Malmtjärn lake.

The oldest record of the Malmkärra mine is from 1664. Magnetite ore was mined (~100,000 t of Fe) until production stopped in 1936.

The Malmkärragruvorna mines southwest of Norberg feature a tremolite-actinolite-magnetite skarn with humite group minerals and phlogopite. The ore occurs within a narrow layer of dolomitic marble, surrounded by conformable metavolcanic rocks that were moderately to strongly altered, particularly to the east of the skarn orebodies, now represented by cordierite-rich schists. A rich zone of REE silicates was encountered at the 205 m level in the Lillgruvan orebody.
