San Fins Mines

Name(s) in local language(s):

Minas de San Finx (As minas de San Fins), Vilacova, Lousame (Noya), A Coruña (La Coruña), Galicia, España

Las Minas de San Finx (in Galician and officially, As Minas de San Fins) is a mining operation located in the parish of Vilacoba in the municipality of Lousame (province of La Coruña, Galicia, Spain).

W mine; reopened in 2011.

The San Finx deposit is a quartz sheeted vein system hosted by schists and gneisses of the Schistose Domain, which were overthrusted by the allochthonous rocks to the west of the mine. Only towards the easternmost part of the deposit the mineralised veins also crosscut pegmoaplites and syn-kinematic S1 and S4 Variscan granitoids. The deposit is constituted by three main subvertical (70-85° SE dipping) veins (Norte, JK and Sur) of N50°E approximate direction and between 0.5 and 1.5 m in thickness, with a separation of 10 to 40 m between them.

Geographic note: the San Finx Mines are located in Vilacova, Lousame, but there are probably mislabelled pieces whose labels include the neighbouring village of Noya. This locality is kept in the hierarchy in brackets (in the "name in original/local language" field) only for that reason.
