Grande carrière de Montauch, Palairac, Narbonne, Aude, Occitanie, France
Ancient iron mines operated in the 19th and 20th centuries. Baryte veins cutting iron ore were worked between 1950 and 1982.
The incorrect name "Montauch" is given on some maps.
The French name "Grande carrière de Montauch" is misleading because the mines are open-pit mines, not a large quarry ("Grande carrière").
Anciennes mines de fer exploitées au XIXe siècle et au XXe. Des filons de baryte recoupant le minerai de fer ont été travaillés entre 1950 et 1982.
Le nom "Montauch" est porté par erreur sur les cartes.
