RESOURCES OP IRON ORE IN SWEDEN. 113
At the Striberg Mines, Åsboberg.
Table, in which is given the area of the horizontal section of the ores, or
the ore-area, of some among the largest iron ore fields in Sweden, and
the continuous ore-area of the other ore-fields, estimated approximately.
Since the lateral dip of the majority of our iron ores, reckoned from
the horizontal plane, is very great, this Table of the ore-area in the
different mines and ore-fields, gives a tolerably exact idea of the
resources of iron ore in Sweden.

Other (approximate 125,770
To this total iron ore area, 1,572,000 square meters, should be added
the ore-area of the great number of iron ore deposits and mines for
some reason or other lying in neglect, which are included in or situated
in the vicinity of our larger ore-fields and likewise at the majority of
our smaller ones. It cannot even approximately be estimated how mucb
the aforesaid total area would hereby be increased.
