"(Coming from Saint-Firmin-en-V.). North of Gap on the 'Route Napoléon' (N85) until Saint-Firmin. Follow the D985A. Opposite La Chapelle, to the south, is the town of Les Portes. After passing through the town, there is an old mine with arsenopyrite, bournonite, chalcocite, covellite, galena, limonite, malachite, pyrite, quartz, tetrahedrite, and 'zincite blanche' [ = hydrozincite?]." [Belot, 1978]
Large works from the 1850s with 150-180 m galleries.
