Ancient antimony mine, abandoned in 1914. Located SW of Nades (in Nades community), about 4 km SE of Echassières.

Quartz veins in schist with stibnite (rarely in small crystals); minor pyrite and arsenopyrite.

Overgrown dumps with remnants of some shafts; antimony ore is easily found (situation in 2009).


Several workings have been processed
- 1825-1828 then 1833-1837 : Quartier St Paul : first workings. One pit (puits St Paul) serving several galleries - total lengt about 350-400 m

- 1871-1881 : research workings : As St Paul quarter was flooded, another pit (probably Doumergue pit) was worked about 50 m NE of St Paul pit. Abandonned after 22m (of 60m planned) due to intense flood.

- A cross cut (La bosse cross cut) was worked north of St Paul area, abandonned after 70m (of 140 planned) in the first period of working, then continued up to 255m in the 1871-1881 period, without succes.

1901-1907 : research workings. discovery and exploitation of Giraudet quarter. Researches around St Paul quarter, without probing results. Pensier pit worked about 60m SW of St paul pit. Giraudet pit is worked with some succes next to the path between Nades and Servant

1910-1914 : Giraudet quarter exploitation. (by "Société des mines de Nades", 1910-1912 then by "Société nouvelle des mines d'or de la Lucette, 1912-1914) Main workings of the Giraudet quarter, about 1250 T at 30-35% Sb

Other workings with missing datas:
- Piarret pit : 150m north of Giraudet pit - probably about 20m, date unknown
- Cerisiers pit : about 250m N15° of Giraudet pit. Probably 10-15m, date unknown
- Pensier 2 pit : 15m SW of pensier pit - date unknown
