Castildeacebos Mine


In the Ocasión concession and its neighbor, Fugitiva, a series of good quality fluorinated bags were exploited, with less or greater fortune, and through several small-sized mines, since the beginning of the 1940s. Starting in 1955 and for a short period of about 5 years, one of these stock exchanges received greater attention, benefiting from four levels of exploration. Today there are still several mouths with some anchorages, as well as various ditches and pits.
