La Concordia mining complex: located on the road between San Antonio de Los Cobres and the viaduct La Polvorilla.
Silvermine worked since the 19th century, 4144 metres above sea level. The pique or tunnel is located just below the railway station and has a depth of 150 meters.
Polymetallic epithermal veins associated with Miocene dacites intruding Paleozoic sediments. La Concordia, El Recuerdo, La Paz, and Matilde veins are the most important.
