Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Patte d'Oie mine
A group of open-cut and underground workings at the intersection of the main vein and vein #1 ("Patte d'Oie" = intersection of roads).
The Patte d'Oie area is the most prolific place for minerals in the district, in quantity as well as quality, owing to a well-developed oxidation zone (Cu, Pb).
It is also the type locality of agardite and graulichite-(La), both found in the 1960s in the underground workings by the French geologist Jacques Emile Dietrich (1926-2009).
