Couto Mineiro de Vale das Gatas (São Lourenço de Riba Pinhão e Souto Maior), Sabrosa, Distrito de Vila Real, Portugal
Abandoned tin-tungsten mines (1937-1986).
According to the local tradition the exploration of the mines began with the extraction of cassiterite during the Roman period.
The Vale das Gatas mines are located in the Trás-os-Montes province, in the district of Vila Real, occupying an area of approximately 8 km2. The exploitation of this mining area began around 1883, and the mining operations were suspended in 1986.
In 1994, the 16 existing mining concessions were extinguished by government legislative decree.
- Best Portuguese fluorite occurrence.
One ore vein (1 meter wide) in two-mica Hercynian granite batholith and schists/greywackes.
Four stages of mineralization:
Stage I - Quartz + hübnerite
Stage II - Cassiterite, arsenopyrite, muscovite (greisenization and muscovitization of schists)
Stage III - Sphalerite, pyrrhotite, stannite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, fluorite, chlorite
Stage IV - Galena and Ag/Pb/Bi-sulfosalts
