Improving Mindat.orgbelgian localities

11th Jul 2006 22:22 UTCChristof Schäfer Manager

I was looking for an entry for Plombieres /Bleyberg (some km west of Aachen), Liege Province and found two other localities:

Bleyberg Mine (Bleiberg Mine), Bleiberg, Meuse-Vesdre, Namur Province, Belgium

and

Plombières/Sclaigneaux, Meuse-Vesdre, Namur Province, Belgium

Is there something going crosswise?

...I could also add to your list the numerous (and different) BLEIBERG's from Germany, Austria, etc. Sclaignaux is famed for ancient heaps of slags where very rich mineralization of slag minerals has developed.

Jacques,


Thanks for he information about the Bleiberg´s in Germany and Austria.

To be more detailed about my original question(s), what I want to know is:

1. Sclaigneaux /Plombieres are they the same locality?

2. Plombieres and Bleyberg (Bleiberg) is this the same locality?

3. is Plombieres located in the Namur or Liege Province?

Look for links accessed with google "de nul sclaigneaux".



Bleiberg (=Plombières) is in the Liége Province. Locality of Montzen is sometimes used as a qualifier.
