"Operated from 1851 to 1912, with a total output of only 18 tons of copper and silver ores. Located near Julianehåb." (= Denisch name for Qaqortoq.)

On page 173 the mine is mentioned:
"The exploitation of minerals in Greenland began in the middle of the 19th century under the auspices of public administration. In 1851 the authorities opened the first copper mine near Julianehaab, and the site was named King Frederik the VU's Copper Mine.
However, after the extraction of 13 tonnes of copper ore and small quantities of silver, themine was exhausted."

and yet another mention of this mine at page 25:
"The Central Domain hosts copper (Cu) occurrences, including the small
historic copper mines, the Josva mine (1851-54; 1905-14) and the Frederik VIImine (1852, 1905, 1912). In addition, gold occurrences as well as many smallveins and enclaves with elevated uranium (U) concentrations have been found"

History and geography of Qaqortoq
The area has in all likelihood been inhabited by the Norse, but the Danish name Julianehåb is in honour of widowed queen Juliane Marie (widow of King Frederik V) and was given by Norwegian merchant Anders Olsen at the founding of the colony in 1775.
From the beginning, the Danish mission was in competition with the Moravians to Christianise the population of the region. The Moravians settled in Imerissoq in 1774 and named their mission field Lichtenau.
Julianehåb soon became an important hub throughout the region for trade, mission and mineral extraction. Throughout the 19th century, the geology was mapped and small mines were started. It stopped in the early 1900s, but interest still exists. The colony established the test stations Nordprøven (now Narsaq) in 1830 and the Sydprøven (now Alluitsup Paa) in 1850."

"Qaqortoq is located in one of the most mineral rich areas in the world, South Greenland having a vide range of mineral deposits. Mining has been a major economic activity in South Greenland in the past, especially the nearby Ivittuut mine north of Qaqortoq.[28] A gold mine was operating from 2003 to 2013 in Nalunaq, south of Qaqortoq. The gold mine is expected to reopen in 2022.
The Tanbreez multielement project, situated less than 20 kilometers east of Qaqortoq, was granted an exploitation licence in 2020, and a major mine is expected to be established within a few years."
