Mina dos Azibrais, Figueiró da Serra, Gouveia, Distrito da Guarda, Portugal


W-Sn mine.

"Em Gouveia registou-se uma forte actividade mineira (volfrâmio nos anos 40 e 50) na zona de Nabais, Folgosinho, Linhares (mina dos Azibrais e mina de S. Domingos). É uma zona potencialmente indicada para uma intervenção de revitalização. A Câmara de Gouveia e PNSE poderão envolver-se numa parceria para a instalação de um museu mineiro localizado na mina dos Azibrais, onde facilmente poderá ser recriado um cenário mineiro. A mina dos Azibrais encontra-se num sítio isolado, com valor paisagístico, de fácil acesso e está dentro de um parque natural.
Estão assim reunidas algumas condições para facilmente ser utilizada como um recurso didáctico e turístico. Como é uma mina pequena e não tem hipótese de ser reactivada com objectivos de produção, poderá, no entanto, ser transformada no Pólo Museológico Mineiro de Gouveia"
