Forcall mines
Zn-Pb-Fe stratiform deposit in Ordovician schists, slates, quartzites and limestones, slightly affected by Hercynian low grade regional metamorphism and tectonics. The abandoned galleries, dumps and buildings are located in the upper Forcall river valley, at an altitude of 2300 m 0,5 km south of Malh de Bolard (Mail de Boulard) peak (French border).
