Concession Planioles.
Concession exploited during the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th and for ten years in the 1960's.
The concession has been abandoned and terminated, was owned by Union Minière (formerly Vieille Montagne SA). The 1,300 ha zinc-lead concession was good for in total 60,000 tons of zinc and 10,000 tons of lead.
The concession consisted of 3 deposits: Fèges, Combecave and Amédée.
Vieille Montagne built a washing plant in "Les Justices" which operated from 1962 to 1967. She had a capacity of 150 t/d but she would have processed up to 250 t/d between 1963 and 1964. The enrichment was done via flotation.
Until 1966, the washing sludge was stored in 2 decantation basins.
In 1966, a dike breach caused a flood of 6 hectares of agricultural land.
