Melkedalen grube i Ofoten. Søndre Ofotens malmforekomster I.
Melkedalen copper mine is situated at latitude 68 degrees 15 N, in the district of Ofoten, Northern Norway. It has formerly been mined only for chalcopyrite, but actually iron pyrites and sphalerite are equally important constituents of the ore. The whole district has been subject to considerable su...
