Klein Wierau, Kreis Schweidnitz
A deposit of magnesite in serpentinites of Gogołów-Jordanów massif in an equatorial belt, approximately 4.5 km long and several hundred meters wide, discovered in the mid-1950s. The occurrence traced through the underground workings of the 'Wiry' mine (opened in 1959) where magnesites as thick veins up to a maximum of 4 m thick, and a network of thin veins with a net course. The main direction of the vein is NW-SE, less often perpendicular. Vertical range of mineralization up to 100 m, exceptionally 150 m. In magnesites minerals of chlorite- and serpentine-group as well as calcite, quartz, talc and Fe oxides occur.
Underground mine 'Wiry' belonged to the Strzeblowskie Kopalnia Surowców Mineralnych in Sobótka. Total five mining levels were created in the mine, with some of the magnesite vines up to 1.5 m wide (local even more), its thickness from 19.5 to 91.55 m, and the thickness of the overburden from 4.7 to 64.0 m. Magnesites contain on average:
SiO2 - 7.53%,
CaO - 2.05%,
MgO - 43.45%
Magnesite was obtained until July 1996, a decade later the mine was sold, and the company that bought it launched 2007-2012 a mineral water bottling plant. Between 2017 -2019 tourist episode, some of the closed workings were made available as an underground route. Since then, an important water intake with excellent parameters.
Note: among serpentines, granitoid pegmatites were also found.
