free miner Explanation: Freeminer (one word) is a medieval title in England, which lives on in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, where some independently run small coal mines still operate. There also free miners (two words) in British Columbia, Canada. They are licensed to mine '"minerals", not just coal I think the two word version is more elegant and the BC model would fit the Swedish 'bergsman" well. Example sentence(s):
