Eastern ore field, Scheelite deposit, Felben valley, Hohe Tauern Mts, Salzburg, Austria

(Ostfeld, Scheelitlagerstätte, Felbertal, Hohe Tauern, Salzburg, Österreich)

The eastern ore field, up on a mountain side, is now largely mined out. A much smaller number of mineral species is known by comparison to the western ore field.
In 2008, parts of the dumps were removed and their W content was assayed, with positive results.
Access to the ore field is only via a private road owned by the mining company.
