This mine operated from 1944 to 1970 and produced lead-zinc, gold, and tungsten ore from separate orebodies. Current exploration has found additional lead-zinc and tungsten orebodies as well as high-grade molybdenum ore, and mining may resume in the near future.

It's amazing to find such different ore types in close proximity to one another.
