Noiraigue was a municipality in the district of Val-de-Travers in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. On 1 January 2009, the former municipalities of Boveresse, Buttes, Couvet, Fleurier, Les Bayards, Môtiers, Noiraigue, Saint-Sulpice and Travers merged to form Val-de-Travers.

Discovery of very few slags scattered in a torrent near Noiraigue. Ferrous slag probably from industrial production in the 1700s.

Note on the mineral list: Bonifazi reports the presence of numerous crystallized and unidentified iron minerals which alter rapidly after the opening of the slags and which deserve in-depth analysis

GPS coordinates are approximate.
