Cu mine and outcrops of ophiolitic rocks along Pavone stream.
Consist of brecciated orebodies in cataclastic shear zones that are totally embedded in the serpentinite-gabbro basement. Even this type of ore deposit is usually hosted by serpentinite intruded by an unusual amount of gabbro and dolerite bodies. The deposit was intermittently explored and mined between 1832 and 1942 through the excavation of small open pits and underground works, providing a total production of few hundred tons of copper. The Montecastelli mine consists of about 1500 m of adits and drifts distributed over three levels from 195 m to 245 m above sea level (a.s.l.), connected by a main shaft and smaller inclined shafts. The main ore shoots (Isabella and Grotta Mugnaioli stopes) are composed of pluri-decametric clusters of cm-dm clasts of a bornite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite assemblage, intimately intergrown with gangue silicates (mainly Mg-rich Ca-amphibole, andradite, and Mg-rich chlorite).
