Cu-U ore mineralisation in red oxidised sandstone, only a few meters above the top of the Bozen/Bolzano volcanic suite, on the left orographic side of the Bletterbach Gorge at the Taubenleck locality.

The small deposit, mined between the 15th and 16th century, is locally known as "KnappenlΓΆcher" (i.e., miners holes). On the surface the mineralised zone is indicated by patches of limonite derived from weathered pyrite and incrustations of azurite and malachite. The target of the ancient miners were fragments of Cu-impregnated coalified tree trunks and branches, easily identifiable because of the green and blue stains caused by secondary copper minerals. Covellite and tennantite fill the practically undeformed cell lumina of the wood. Uranium is present as uraninite, either associated with framboidal pyrite, or diffusely distributed in coal, recognisable only by the reaction halos within the surrounding coal.
