The mine had 84 underground floors reaching the depth of 426 metres, which is 120 metres below the sea level. Almost 8 million tons of iron ore had been mined during one hundred years of hard work. This mine didn't have a regular mine tower - all the mining and trasnport was done in the underground using unique machine rooms located on the 8th and 48th floor. |
