Miniera del Fursil (Miniere del Fursil), Colle Santa Lucia, Provincia di Belluno, Veneto, Italia
Mine workings and prospects in the area known as Fursil or Wersil, on the southern slope of Monte Pore.
The main siderite mineralisation, consisting of spatic siderite veins (1-2 to 4 m thick) with associated limonite and baryte, is hosted in limestones of the Bellerophon formation near the contact with rocks of the Werfen formation. Minor Pb-Zn mineralisations are also present in the area.
The iron mines are known since the Middle Ages. In 1177, the Holy Roman emperor Fredrick I Barbarossa recognised the right of their ownership to the Neustift/Novacella Monastery, which later transferred the right to the Prince-Bisphoric of Brixen/Bressanone. The maximun production was reached in the middle of the 17th century. The mines, closed in 1753, were reopened for a short period at the end of the 1830s. The Italian mechanical manufacturing company Breda during the autarchic period (1938-43) exploited again the mines, definitely closed in 1945.
