Iron mine (iron skarn deposit).
Part of a porphyry copper ore district.

"It is probable that the bulk of the copper mineralization in the Damjan ore field has been deeply eroded and lost. No economic copper mineralization was found in magnetite-hematite skarn of the Damjan ore field." (https://mrdata.usgs.gov/sir20105090z/show-sir20105090z.php?gmrap_id=3125)
