Vedrin is a village in and a sub-municipality of the city and municipality of Namur.

Part of the Meuse-Vesdre lead-zinc district.

The Savena mine (sublocality) was an iron mine with large amounts of marcasite rather than a lead-zinc mine (and appears to be actually located in the sub-municipality of Saint-Marc).
