A barite vein in a WNW-ESE direction that was mined by a gallery and some trenches. Paragenesis consists in chalcopyrite and some galena, and at the entrance there is an upper zone with malachite, calcite, siderite, goethite and beyerite, the latter being the most interesting mineral in the deposit, although very scarce.
