Inactive uranium mine (research phases 1959-1963 and new researches in 1970-1973). The workings consist of main entrance, galleries at four levels and big dumps.

The mineralization is hosted as low grade disseminations and stockworks within layers of hydrotermally altered ryolitic ignimbrites belonging to the first of two volcanic episodes of the Formation called "Vulcaniti di Monte Cabianca" (Formazione del Collio auct., pro parte) of Lower Permian age.
