Boda gruvor


Mining for silver and lead during 17th-19th century.

The Pb-Zn mineralisation consists of fracture and breccia fillings along a thrust zone in Ordovician limestones. Boda, and the smaller but similar Sollerön deposit, probably formed in close connection with the tectonic disturbance following the Devonian meteorite impact considered to have created the Siljan Ring structure.

Located in the eastern part of the Siljan impact structure (Siljan Ring, now partly filled by the Siljan lake).
