As indicated in the text to http://www.mindat.org/photo-153325.html geographically speaking Hebbersfors quarry and Björkdal (gold mine) are the same place.
From ~1936 until May 1977 when the quarry & the lime kiln was closed, limestone was produced by the Västerbottens kalkbruksförening here.
The name of the quarry was Hebbersfors and the brand name of their product was "Hebbersfors kalk".
In ~1986 the Swedish company Terra Mining AB sent in an application to authorities with the aim to open a gold mine "Björkdal" at this place. Why did they choose this name?? Camouflage? Just a few km E is another old limestone quarry having the original name of Björkdal.
(The information above is a mix of SGU data, copy of application papers, newspaper article in Norra Västerbotten & personal communnications).
