It has been known for a long time that the mountains in the Gnarp district in Helsingland contained a number of different metals but it is only recently that it has been suspected that the mountains contained gold as "well as other metals.
Blasting operations have cow been undertaken at Bastansen in the parish of Gnarp and the deeper the prospectors have gone the more promising the veins have appeared. Gold has been definitely found in the ratio of about ten grammes per too of ore.
