This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Mining is the act or process of removing ores, coal, and minerals from the earth. In Norway, in additions to other ores and minerals, there has been mining for iron ore, cobalt ore, copper pyrite, sulphur pyrite, zinc, lead, silver and gold. When mining became an important source of revenue for Norway in the 1600’s, capital and skilled workmen were brought in from Germany. Gradually Norwegian competence was accomplished. In 1754 the first school of mining in Europe was started at Kongsberg. Norway had a meaningful mining industry until the 1960’s. Today the only place where traditional mining takes place on Svalvard, but today this most important resources which are mined are stone, gravel, sand, and clay. |
