Mining complex in Triassic dolomitic limestones at contact with upper Permian limestones.

These mines were surely active in the XIV century when Emperor Philip the Nice conceded permission to extract lead and zinc to a group of miners. In the XIX century, under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the mine was half an Imperial property and half property of Henckel Von Donnersmarck Earls. After WWI, Italy annexed the Tarvisio area, and the Italian government assigned the extraction concessions to the company Società Anonima Miniere Cave del Predil. After WWII the mine changed hands various times, and in 1963 became property of the Italian government, with Azienda Mineraria Metallurgica Italiana Spa (AMMI). In 1965 the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region became the mine owner and granted the use of the mine to AMMI until 1987. But due to the high operating costs the mine was almost closed in 1976. In 1978 the mine passed to a new company, SAMIM, that operated it until 1986. The mine was definitely closed on February 6, 1991.

The ore mineralisation mainly consists of sulphides (sphalerite, galena, pyrite, and marcasite) in a gangue of dolomite, calcite, and baryte. More than 150 km of galleries were excavated on 25 levels. A wide and thick oxidation zone crops out in the area known as Vitriolwand, exploited for sulphates and calamine, on the eastern slope of Piccolo Monte del Re/Klein Königsberg.

A tourist mine and a mining museum can be visited.
