Nasa silver mine

Nasa silver mine

The Nasa silver mine (Swedish: Nasa silvergruva), located on Nasa Mountain on the border between Sweden and Norway, was used for mining silver from 1635 to year 1810. Although it was a commercial fiasco, and never delivered much silver, it was historically important as it contributed to the development of infrastructure in this part of Lappland, most notably the Nasa trail and the city of Arjeplog.
