Name(s) in local language(s):
Grube Haardt, Benolpe, Kirchhundem, Olpe, Siegerland, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland


NOTE:
Questionable locality and position!
Neither the geological map from Prussia 1910 nor the new one from 1986 contain data about mining activities near the village of Benolpe!
The mine is not mentioned in the description of the "Arnsberg" mining district from 1890.
Current maps do not show any sign of historical mining activities north of Benolpe.
Interestingly the "Haardt" mine is mentioned in the below referenced book "Siegerland & Westerwald [...]", however the data given on page 157 (especially the four listed minerals!) refer to the book from Haege (1887) "Die Mineralien des Siegerlandes und der angrenzenden Bezirke".
No position is given for this mine, also no reports about finds - the listed minerals are copied from reference to reference ...
