Svartfjell koboltgruver, Modum vest, Modum, Buskerud, Norge
Old cobalt mines situated on the summit of the Svartfjellet mountain, on the land of the farm Svendsby, north of the Skuterud Mines.
The fahlbands (mines) are going in south - north direction.
During the years 1822-1849 these mines were operated by a company under the name Snarum Koboltverk (Snarum Blaafarveværk or Snarum Verk).
Compared with the old Modum Blaafarveværket this history is unknown. During the best years (1830-) over 250 workers worked in these mines.
