| The Copper Mine in Falun, the Great Pit | WIKI |
| It produced as much as two thirds of Europe's copper needs[1] and helped fund many of Sweden's wars in the 17th century. | WIKI |
| Objects from the 10th century have been found containing copper from the mine. | WIKI |
| The merchants transported and sold the copper in Europe but also influenced the operations and developed the methods and technology used for mining. | WIKI |
| The principal method for extracting copper was heating the rock via large fires, known as fire-setting. | WIKI |
| After the roasting, the ore was smelted; the output of which was a copper rich material. | WIKI |
| The cycle of roasting and smelting was repeated several times until crude copper was produced. | WIKI |
| This was the final output from the mine; further refinement took place at copper refineries elsewhere. | WIKI |
| Free miners owned shares of the operation, proportional to their ownership of copper smelters. | WIKI |
| The point of maximum production occurred in 1650, with over 3,000 tonnes of copper produced. | WIKI |
| Sweden had a virtual monopoly on copper which it retained throughout the 17th century. | WIKI |
| The only other country with a comparable copper output was Japan, but European imports from Japan were insignificant. | WIKI |
| Although copper production had already begun to decline by the time he made his report, something Odhelius made no secret of, he stated, "For the production of copper Sweden has always been like a mother, and although in many places within and without Europe some copper is extracted it counts for nothing next to the abundance of Swedish copper". | WIKI |
| Peak production barely reached 3,000 tonnes of copper per year, falling to less than 2,000 tonnes by 1665; from 1710xe2x80x931720 it was barely 1,000 tonnes per year. | WIKI |
| Present worldwide copper production is 18.3 million tons per year; Chuquicamata, a modern copper mine in Chile, has maintained an annual output exceeding 500,000 tonnes for decades. | WIKI |
| Copper production declined during the 18th century, and the mining company began diversifying. | WIKI |
| It supplemented copper extraction with iron and timber production. | WIKI |
| The Mining Area of the Great Copper Mountain in Falun is one of the most outstanding industrial monuments in the world. | UNESCO |
| The cultural landscape graphically illustrates the activities of copper production in the Dalarna region of central Sweden since at least the 9th century. | UNESCO |
| This culminated in the 17th century in the dominance of Sweden as the major producer of copper and exerting a strong influence on the technological, economic, social, and political development of Sweden and Europe. | UNESCO |
| The Mining Area of the Great Copper Mountain in Falun is noteworthy not only for its technological heritage but also for the abundant evidence illustrating the economic and social evolution of the copper industry and the social structure of the mining community over time. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (ii): Copper mining at Falun was influenced by German technology, but this was to become the major producer of copper in the 17th century and exercised a profound influence on mining technology in all parts of the world for two centuries. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (iii): The entire Falun landscape is dominated by the remains of copper mining and production, which began as early as the 9th century and came to an end in the closing years of the 20th century. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (v): The successive stages in economic and social evolution of the copper industry in the Falun region, from a form of xe2x80x9ccottage industryxe2x80x9d to full industrial production, can be seen in the abundant industrial, urban, and domestic remains characteristic of this industry that still survive. | UNESCO |
| Collectively these attributes create the cultural landscape of the Mining Area of the Great Copper Mountain in Falun and underpin the authenticity of the property. | UNESCO |
