Kupferlagerstätte Ulpen (Kaunzalm; Hochleger; Kellerjoch; Öxeltal), Schwaz, Gebiet Brixlegg - Schwaz, Inntal, Nordtirol, Tirol, Österreich
Ancient copper mining area. The ore did almost entirely consist of chalcopyrite, with minor cobalt- and nickel-rich sulphides such as glaucodot, bravoite and cobaltoan arsenopyrite. Older references list cobaltite and linnaeite for this area, but these could not be confirmed in contemporary investigations.
