Currently known as the La Encontrada Mine, these old mine workings are located in the area known as "Cerro del Tesorillo", where in the nineteenth century a number of concessions were recorded ("La Maria"- "Los Hijos de Llorca" - "Grandeza Española" and "Riqueza Positiva").

Co-Cu mineralisations in dolomite, with many secondary minerals.
Worked mainly for oxides of cobalt for the manufacture of ceramic enamels.
