Small amounts of copper minerals (native copper in the form of grains, veinlets and dendrites; cuprite; malachite) were discovered at various places in the municipal territory of Acqualagna. However, all attempts to exploit these copper ores in the Case Piagra (Petriccio)- Fosso della Baiona area were unsuccessful due to their scarcity.
