Concession des Bois-Noirs
A uranium mining claim currently inactive. Almost 6,400 tons of uranium metal have been worked out during the operation.
Several vein deposits are aligned on a large structure oriented NW-SE. The largest deposits, discovered in the 1950s, are numbered from BN1 to BN10 (BN = Bois-Noirs) and they were operated until the late 1970s.
"Southwest of Roanne on the D53 until Saint-Just-en-Chevalet. Turn right onto the D495. On the dumps of the Bois Noirs mine, there is amethyst, autunite, chalcopyrite, fluorite, quartz, and uraninite." [Belot, 1978]
