Mina Mas Buxó, Colera, Alto Ampurdán
This mine takes the name of the farm that is located a few meters away, touching the stream of Molinás. We assume that it is an old exploitation, since the registration of the year 1901 under the name of "La Quinta", where it is said to be an iron mine located in the area of "Clot d'en Buxó". Frequently, in the records of the mines used numerators "Segunda, Tercera, etc.", which we assume that they indicated the number of times the same mine had been registered, as they changed often of owners. The registration is accompanied by a map with the delimitation of the exploitation, which uses the system of grids delimited by stakes, so-called belongings, and the marking of geographical references. In that registration 33 memberships were declared. In 1928 this mine was registered again, with the name of "Abundante", this time with an extension of 26 belongings.
