The Enfermarias prospect is located 1.5 km SE of Moura (SE Portugal) and includes Zn-Pb(-Ag-Sb-Au) ores hosted in Lower Cambrian rocks belonging to the Dolomitic Formation (Oliveira & Matos, 1992). The prospect is known by drilling and coincides with small gravimetric and electric anomalies, which, according to geophysical modelling (Represas et al ., 2003), are unrelated to the ores and can be fully explained by the local geological structure and prevalence of metadolostones. Several other prospects and abandoned mines similar to Enfermarias are known in the Moura-Ficalho region, occurring in the same lithostratigraphical context, but many of them are affected by strong supergene alteration. Therefore, the non-outcropping Enfermarias prospect is a good case study to characterise in detail the geological setting and the metallogenesis of such mineralisation type, thus contributing to our present understanding of the Magnetite-Zinc Belt (Oliveira, 1986), one of the major ore districts in the Ossa-Morena Zone (OMZ).
