In the vicinities of the Can Magre farmhouse (Vidreres, la Selva region, Girona province, Catalonia) a group of ancient mines is reported. These old works were focused in the mining of veined Pb mineralizations hosted in metamorphic Paleozoic rocks. Ore mineralization is mainly formed by galena associated with fluorite and barite. Moreover, oxidized processes are well-developed and secondary lead minerals such as pyromorphite or wulfenite can be also found.
En las inmediaciones de la finca Can Magre, en Vidreres, se encuentran un grupo de antiguas minas cuyas labores se centraron en las mineralizaciones de Pb alojadas en rocas metamórficas de edad paleozoica. La galena es el mineral principal que aparece asociada con fluorita y barita. Además, hay un gran desarrollo de procesos de oxidación por lo que también se pueden encontrar minerales secundarios de plomo, como piromorfita o wulfenita.
