Thanks everyone!
Thanks for improving the article and for correcting an embarrassing number of grammar and spelling problems which I, to my great shame, put in the article. :) henrik•talk 18:48, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A need to add ceartain aspects?
Hey guys!
Should there not be a mentioning of the fact that you can measure when the mine had it's peak production in the Ice on Greenland. I don't have a source at the moment, although i'll get back with one as soon as possible.
Kind regards

Name
Having just visited the mine today, I noticed that all the signage, maps, tour guides, etc. referred to the mine simply as Falun Mine (Falu Gruva), not Great Copper Mountain (Stora Kopparberg). The webpage for the mine in English uses the same naming, and the tour guide made a point of stating that the name is just "Falun Mine", not "Falun Copper Mine" in light of the various other minerals (including gold) that have been extracted from the mine. Any objection to a page move? siafu (talk) 17:52, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
