The Hinderaker mine is believed to represent the easternmost extension of the ore worked in the Rødkleiv mine; the two mines are connected via a shaft from the Rødkleiv 150m level. The Hinderåker mine was70m deep, and was worked on a relatively poor pencil shaped ore body. The mine is covered by large ( 20-25m2) concrete slabs and a 1200m3 partly reclaimed dump. Ore samples are not common on the dump.
