Municipality of Portalegre district.
Mining concession no. 2795 "Poio" (W), Espirito Santo parish, registered on 25-11-1952.
The Nisa uranium deposit, located in Central Portugal, has been known since the late 1960s. Some areas were explored at that time. Today, a few open pits and dumps remain in place and are a concern to local authorities.

"Em 1970 foi identiicado em Nisa um novo mineral para a Ciência. Lencastre & Vairinho (1970) descrevem um novo fosfato cálcico de urânio, do grupo da fosforanilite, de cor amarela, dando-lhe o nome de Nisaite. No entanto, a falta de informação adequada fez com que a Nisaite não fosse aceite como um mineral válido. Novos estudos levam, em 1978, à descrição da “Nisaite” proveniente de Bergen, Saxónia e Zaire, baptizada agora de Furcalite (Braithwaite et al., 1989)." In Geological and Geomining heritage from Nisa: territory assessment and integration in the Naturtejo Geopark, Carlos Neto de Carvalho & Joana Rodrigues, VVR 2012.
