Mûller et al (2015) describe a Hommen mine located at the here presented coordinates.
However, the NGU has registered two localities by the name of "Hommen", none of them corresponding with Müller's locality:
005067 - Hommen : 58.6486633,7.0703333
005068 - Hommen : 58.6473683,7.0738517
The LiDAR map does not show any signs of mining activity in the direct vicinity of these coordinates. But not far from NGU5068 the LiDAR map shows a quarry/prospect at 58.64718,7.07234.
Since Müller describes Hommen to be a small mine, with only an 8 m long tunnel, it seems as if the 55 m long tailings of his locality are too large and in contradiction to this being a small mine.
A map for this issue has been compiled and should help further study if someone would care.
