Mina Aguas Teñidas, Almonaster la Real, Huelva, Andalucía, España
Massive sulphide deposit within the Iberian Pyrite Belt. Half of the concession is located in the neighbouring locality of Cortegana and a small part in Cerro del Andévalo.
Aguas Teñidas is a polymetallic (Cu-Zn-Pb) massive sulphide deposit. It consists of a single roughly E-W-oriented elongated massive sulphide body ca. 1,800 m long and 150 to 300 m wide located at a depth between 280 (eastern side) and 650 m (western side). It is wedge-shaped perpendicular to elongation, with a maximum thickness of 90–100 m by its northern margin, which is mostly fault-bounded.
