History

A district mined for centuries

The Yxsjoberg district in central Sweden has been mined for centuries. Copper was worked here as far back as 1771. Tungsten came later, with production running from 1918 to 1989. Then the mines closed, the shafts were left standing, and the records went into an archive. We started with that archive.

The plan

A staged plan, shallowest first

We did not inherit a single prospect. We inherited a whole system, and there is a sensible order to work through it, cheapest and shallowest first, deepest last.

  1. Surface tailings.

    Material already dug up and left on surface.

  2. Shallow hard rock at Kvarnasen.

    Near-surface rock the old miners logged but did not fully work.

  3. The deep system.

A strategic review is underway

On 2 September 2026 we appointed Bill Murphy of Murphy Resource Consultants to run an independent strategic review of Bergslagen, looking at how best to advance the project. We will report what it finds on our news page.
