Abstract
- The geology and mining history of the mine are described. Examination of historic underground maps from the 18th century and new surface geological mapping shows that the ore was controlled by a major north-south oriented fault. The deposit formed about 7 million years ago. Details are given of the alteration assemblage accompanying the cinnabar.<br />The geology and mining history of the mine are described.
