Name(s) in local language(s):
MIna de Urânio de Nisa (Lameira das Pedrinhas), Nisa, Portalegre District, Portug
A U mine located at Lameira das Pedrinhas, just outside Nisa village.
Part of the Nisa uranium district (about 5x1 km2).
Peribatholitic vein-type uranium deposit, meaning that the uraniferous hydrothermal veins are formed in the rocks next to an intruding granite and not in the granite itself.
For a very interesting study about the uraniferous province of Alto-Alentejo, and in particular about the Nisa area and the Nisa ore deposits, see Peinador Fernandes (1982).
For the specific formation conditions of the Nisa ore deposit see L.Pilar (1966).

The Nisa uranium deposit, located in Central Portugal, has been known since the late 1960s. Some areas were explored at that time. Today, a few open pits and dumps remain in place and are a concern to local authorities
