Two water filled and fenced shafts are the remains of this operation. An estimated total of 7300t ore (Geis,1957) with an average of 0.5-0.6% Cu has been mined in 1890 (test mining) and in two periods of commercial, although possibly not profitable mining in 1895-1897 and 1911-1914. Sulphides was found as pyrite/chalcopyrite veins and disseminated in greenstone. Ore samples can be found on the 1200m3 dump.
