(Filon des Anglais (Filon de la Minayre, Suc de l'Eglise), Lubilhac, Haute-Loire, Auvergne, France)
Ancient silver mine, working an E-W striking quartz-baryte vein carrying lead and silver sulphosalts. Some old dumps rich in baryte, with bournonite and secondary minerals remain on the eastern slopes of the valley of the Fontaine-Salée stream, about 800 m south of the Dahu river bridge on the D 17 road leading from Lubilhac to Massiac. More recent workings by the BRGM explored a lower level of the vein, with less baryte and abundant semseyite. Dumps are located next to the Fontaine-Salée stream. Located 1 km west of Lubilhac and about 13 km SW of Brioude.
This vein is part of the Lubilhac claim of the Brioude-Massiac mining district, together with the stibnite-bearing veins collectively known as "Dahu Mine".
