Located near Agrokipia, a village 3 km west of the village Klirou.

A largely underground mine.

It operated from 1952-1971 as an open-cast mine from which about 333,000 tons or ore with an average concentration of 1% copper and 38% sulphur were extracted. Processing took place in the ore enrichment plant at Mitsero with the aim of producing copper and sulphur using the flotation method, while the end product was exported by ship from Karavostasi.
