Aties Iron Mine

Vredendal, Matzikama Local Municipality, West Coast District Municipality, Western Cape, South Africa

A former iron mine which primarily worked hematite, goethite, and limonite.

There are several minerals listed as being found at the site, including calcite, goethite, hematite, and limonite.

There is limited information on this mine available online unfortunately.

Some of the calcite from the site is very nice and well worth a look.
