Inactive Sn mine (exploited in the 50's by "Minas do Zêzere, SARL").
"The quartz veins are sub-vertical and usually with widths from 5-30cm, separated 1m in average and with different orientations. In these veins cassiterite, stannite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, and triphylite occur and becoming very rich in amblygonite with deepness. A second generation of mineralising fluids make the occurrence of vivianite and carbonates.
