Mine de Rocheux, Oneux, Theux, Verviers, Province de Liège, Belgium
Old lead-zinc-iron-calamine mines just southeast of Oneux.
Three shafts were on the hillside east from the dumps (fieldwork, 19 April 2009).
Note: The other shafts north of Oneux belong to the Oneux mines (see http://www.mindat.org/loc-205002.html).
