Ickorrbotten is one of the mines in the Håksberg field, located between Iviken and the central shaft at Håksberg. In 1951, it was discovered that the current shaft was somewhat in danger as the mine was expanded underground. It was decided that a brand new and modern shaft and head frame was to be built – a work that was completed in 1959. The mine was connected to Håksberg via a drift on 105 meters depth in 1951, and Ickorrbotten was then mainly used for transportation of mine personnel. Icorbotten died together with its main mine in Håksberg when it closed in 1978.

Today, when travelling up into the village at Ickorrbotten, old pits and rusty fences can be seen everywhere. The most visible landmark is the all-concrete head frame from 1959, which seems to have got a modern use as a mast for the cellular networks in the Ludvika area. Further into the dense forest, remains from the old facilities can be found.
