A tin mine. Zaaiplaats 286 IP

Zaaiplaats

Zaaiplaats produces 18 t of tin metal per month from cassiterite, which occurs in irregular pipes (with diameters ranging from about 10 cm to 10 m), in lenses, and as disseminations in the granite rock. Until 1927 ore was obtained from surface workings of the pipes, but since then about 90 per cent of all the ore comes from underground operations. Mining takes place in cool, comfortable conditions about 150 m below the surface. (Note added in 2016: the mine is now closed)
