A manganese mine located near Hotazel in North Cape Province. Started in May 1973. Hydrothermal alteration of the primary Mn ore produced a wealth of well-crystallised minerals.
The Wessels Mine is an underground operation situated 300 metres below the surface. Access to the workings is achieved by means of a vertical shaft and two incline shafts. The nature of the orebody lends itself to a mechanised room and pillar mining method.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Mesoproterozoic : 1040 Ma to 1010 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
