Slagg/Slag Røros

Refining hundreds of years ago was far from present processes and therefore there is a lot of copper left in the slag. The enormous heaps are part of the UNESCO heritage listing, but before that , people wanted to process them

to get the copper. Copper ore made possible a more than 3oo years mining venture beginning about 1645. Today Røros mining town is on Unesco's heritage list.
