Being the only exploitation that is at relatively low levels, between 900m and 1300m altitude, it was exploited all year round, but they were still not exempt from cold or danger. Historically it has had many changes in concessions, workers from varied places, extractions of lead minerals (galena) and zinc (esfalerita), depending on the demand of the time. The opening and closing of this operation had a major impact both on the economy of the area and on the development of infrastructure as well as the implementation of electricity that not only served to boost mining, but also the inhabitants of Bossòst, benefited from such good innovation.
