Vein of fine shales infused with black Goethite, which is spread throughout. One of the primary adits of the mine lies beneath the house situated by the riverside, which was formerly owned by the mine captain. Local folklore suggests the presence of a trap door in the house’s floor that leads to the mine workings.
