Spodumene prospect (Brandrücken exploration adit), Brandrücken, Moschkogel - Weinebene area, Koralpe, Carinthia, Austria
Latitude: 46°50'21"N
Longitude: 14°59'31"E
Longitude: 14°59'31"E
Amphibolites and micaschists, including spodumene-rich pegmatites. During the 1980s, a prospection adit was driven. However, the ore turned out to need elaborate processing to enrich the spodumene, making the deposit unprofitable, so the prospect was closed in the early 1990s. Meanwhile, the adit has been backfilled, the dumps largely removed and the area recultivated.
Currently (2012), new prospecting and drilling work is being done by an Australian company.
Located on the northeast slope of the Brandrücken, about 2 km east of the Weinebene.
Note: a separate dump, heavily picked over and nowadays fairly weathered, is located 8 km away from the exploration adit.
Coordinates: 46°52`3`` N, 14°55`54`` E.
