Stratiform polymetallic Pb-Zn-Cu-fluorite mineralization within the Lower Devonian Gamskofel Limestone, linked to contact zones with gypsum-bearing Werfen formations. Arsenic-rich fahlore, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite are the principal ore minerals. Several Bleiberg-style/MVT lead-zinc deposits throughout the Drauzug-Gurktal Nappe System.
First mining records date to the 16th century, continuing through the late 19th century. Hundreds of meters of tunnels at the Altfinkenstein and Neufinkenstein mines. Bleiberg-type mineralization suggests potential for large-tonnage base metal systems.
