Unterbuchacher Alm (Unterbuchacher Alpe), Kirchbach, Bezirk Hermagor, Kärnten, Österreich

Ancient copper and pigment (azurite) mine and prospects.
Steep dumps and several small adits.
Located at an altitude of 1.690 m a.s.l.

The primary ore is mainly fahlore (both As- and Sb-dominant, and at least locally containing trace amounts of Hg) (Kolitsch and Auer, 2026).

Located near the Unterbuchach Alp (46.61781, 13.14346), SSE of Stranig and south of Kirchbach.
