This old argentiferous lead mine, in the same area of Darnius, it cut a vein of ferruginous quartz with galena, which cannot be examined today due to the poor state of the workings, by means of a 15-meter shaft and then a 45-meter gallery that starts at the bottom, in a N-S direction.

Esta antigua mina de plomo argentífero, en el mismo término de Darnius, cortó un filón de cuarzo ferruginoso con galena, que no se puede hoy examinar por el mal estado de las labores, por medio de un pozo de 15 metros y una galería de 45 metros que arranca de su fondo en dirección N-S.
