Companheiro No. 3, Sezures, Penalva do Castelo, Distrito de Viseu, Portugal
This quartz-feldspar mine consists of a big old quarry and a well-worth-seeing underground mining area. This mine closed a long time ago, maybe in the 1980s; some dumps are visible nowadays.
Another extraction for a short time began in 2010 in the area below. During this time the situation for mineral collecting was quite good.
Some years later a water reservoir for fire protection was constructed here.
Some old and small open-pit mines are also located in this area, but most of them are totally overgrown.
