Mina La Encontrada (Cerro o Paraje del Tesorillo- Monte Tesoro), Molvizar, Granada, Andalucía, España
Currently known as the La Encontrada Mine, these old mine workings are located in the area known as "Cerro del Tesorillo", where in the nineteenth century a number of concessions were recorded ("La Maria"- "Los Hijos de Llorca" - "Grandeza Española" and "Riqueza Positiva").
Co-Cu mineralisations in dolomite, with many secondary minerals.
Worked mainly for oxides of cobalt for the manufacture of ceramic enamels.
