Alp Parsettens, Tinizong (Tinzen), Oberhalbstein (Surses; Sursass), Albulatal, Graubünden (Grisons; Grischun), Schweiz (Suisse; Svizzera)
A former Mn mine located 12.9 km SE of Tiefencastel at N46.57313 E9.68438 (Parsettens I, Swiss grid 772138 160447) and at N46.57114 E9.68267 (Parsettens II, Swiss grid 772013 160223).
The first records about mining in these parts of Switzerland date from the 14th century, but the mines around Tinzen are first mentioned in 1819. The French company operating the mines collapsed around 1840 due to mismanagement. Several records show that only a small amount of Mn-ore was mined until 1900.
The mine was important during WW I and WW II, when the import of Mn-ore was difficult.
The workings consisted of 2 open pits, Parsettens I and Parsettens II — dumps and pits are standing out in the alpine landscape —, plus 5 small pits (probably for prospecting).
The mine could be operated during summer only. The ore was transported by cable car from II to I (earlier by ox cart), by tramway down the mountain to Alp D’Err ('Bremsberg', the track is still visible), and then by truck and railway to the processing plant and to the steel mills.
Between 1916 and 1919, about 1,700 tons of Mn-ore were shipped with an average of 36% Mn from the mine on Alp Parsettens.
Between 1942 and 1945, about 2,500 tons of Mn-ore were mined on Alp Parsettens.
Today, this mine is of interest to the mineral collectors' community only.
