Niobium mines operated from 1956 to 1965. The ore was a pyrochlore-bearing (0.5%) apatite-calcite-magnetite rock with minor amounts of pyrite. Access to the mine is blocked because the headframe collapsed into the shaft below it.

Pyrochlore was produced from sövite in the mine active from 1953 to 1964 and pioneered the production and use of this mineral (Deans 1978). Production only reached 300 tons in a few years. Fluorapatite generally gives the sövites P₂O₅ values of 3-5%, and reserves, to a depth of 1000 m, are estimated at 10-30 x 10⁶ t (Sæther 1957).
