(Rauriser Goldberg, Kolm-Saigurn, Gebiet Alteck - Hoher Sonnblick, Hüttwinkltal, Rauriser Tal, Hohe Tauern, Salzburg, Österreich)
Ancient gold mine, working a series of 26 NNE striking gold-bearing quartz veins from different levels. The old workings which are now inaccessible belong to the most extensive ones in the Hohe Tauern Mts. The gold was mostly extracted from sulphidic ores with gold contents up to 56 g/t, but it also occurred as wires and small crystals, included in quartz or associated with rock crystals. Some fairly extensive dumps still remain, but fail to yield reasonable specimens.
Located SE of Kolm-Saigurn, in the upper Hüttwinkl valley.
