Name(s) in local language(s):
TURTGHEZURITURTBAI
Actively exploited Pb-Zn deposit. Mining started in medieval times; modern mining since 1973.
Includes Ghezuri and Turț Bai deposits/structures.
The mine is near the Turț village which is located 45 km NW of Baia Mare and about 20 km NE of Satu Mare, Oasului Mts.
Note: most wurtzites from here are actually paramorphs of sphalerite after wurtzite (Clain & Haake, 2006).
