Pb-Zn mineralisations in Triassic limestones. Located near Weißenstein, about 2 km NE of Kellerberg.
Geographically, this area is situated at the foot of the Afritz Mountains. Genetically, however, the deposit is related to the Pb-Zn deposits in the eastern Gailtaler Alpen Mts., on the opposite side of the Drau valley, and therefore, the locality is listed here along with the latter.
Note: The coordinates are those of Weißenstein.
