Mina da Rosmaneira, Bendada, Sabugal, Distrito da Guarda, Portugal
Uranium mine.
The exploration of uranium in Portugal began in 1907. Dating back to 1912 Rosmaneira was the first concession (mining concession no. 488 registered on 03-09-1909) in the Sabugal municipality.
It was exploited for radium production between 1909 and 1914, through the exploration of two galleries on the hillside. In addition, small mineralized areas were also exploited through open-pit mining (trenches). The Rosmaneira mine is located near a small village called Quinta de Santo António, which is part of the Bendada parish.
Descrição: filão de quartzo branco com algum jaspe, rumo N 45º E, pendor 65º a 85º SE e possança de 2,0 a 10.0 m numa extensão de 700 m; A mineralização uranífera deste filão é mais intensa quando contacta com as rochas básicas que o rejeitam;
Mineralizações principais: autunite (mica calcária e urânica), fosforanilite, gumite, pecheblenda, torbernite (mica cuprífera e urânica, calcolite);
Morfologias: filão; rochas encaixantes: granitos;
Geologia local: faixa de Guarda-Belmonte-Sabugal onde predominam filões de quartzo e jaspe brechificados com rumo N 30º a 40º E e também E-W no lado nascente e stockworks, mineralizados com pecheblenda, sulfuretos e minerais secundários de urânio, que intruem granitos monzoníticos porfiróides;
