A series of stibnite-bearing quartz veins belonging to the Lubilhac claim of the Brioude-Massiac mining district. This mine was worked mainly at the end of the 19th century and produced about 2000 tons of antimony metal, as well as good stibnite specimens. Several poorly mineralized old dumps still remain, most of them on the eastern slopes of the Dahu valley, just north of the bridge on the D 17 road. Located 1.5 km NW of Lubilhac and about 13 km SW of Brioude.
