Large tin-silver mine. Source of the world's best franckeite specimens. Specimens from here are hard to distinguish from those of the neighbouring San JosΓ© mine and, since the administrative office for both mines was at San JosΓ©, most Itos mine specimens in foreign collections ended up labelled "San JosΓ© mine".
