Filon Saint Guillaume, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, arrondissement de Colmar-Ribeauvillé, Haut-Rhin, Grand Est, France


This Cu-Ag vein is the third from the background Rauenthal Valley. The length of this vein covers from the Liepvrette Valley to the Lingoute Valley, thus crossing the Rauenthal Valley.

The zero level was joined by the Tiefstollen adit for water drainage only by underground access.

On Neuenberg mountain, the first upper level was worked by the Saint Guillaume mine, then the Saint Pierre inférieur mine (Sankt-Peter low-level mine) and the St. Pierre Supérieur mine (Sankt-Peter high-level mine).

Far Glückauf mine break (or remote fault), only accessible by speleology climbing evolution from the St-Pierre upper-level mine, is another part of the Glückauf mine traced in the Sankt-Wilhelm vein direction.

On the south side of the Rauenthal Valley is the St. Daniel mine, and then, further south (in the Valley of Lingoutte), the Lingoutte mine.

As this locality lies in the Sainte Marie-aux-Mines district, the place is protected by an archaeological mining district status, and all collecting is prohibited.
