Goldgruben, Kloben (Südflanke), Hochtor-Gebiet, Glocknergruppe, Hohe Tauern, Kärnten, Österreich
Just east of the summit of the Kloben, at an elevation of roughly 2900 m above sea level, a system of arsenopyrite-pyrite (minor galena, sphalerite and tetrahedrite)-bearing quartz veins disseminates phyllites and micaschists. The veins were worked both from the northern (Salzburgian) and the southern (Carinthian) side of the mountain. Located about 3.5 km NW of Hochtor pass.
No gold was detected in several thin sections, the main silver mineral was tetrahedrite-(Zn) with up to 10 at% Ag (AC 2026)
