Castor Mine

Loope, Engelskirchen, Oberbergischer Kreis, Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Castor Mine is a former lead and zinc mine which closed in 1913.

Mindat lists nearly seventy minerals from the site, although some are dubious identifications apparently.

The area is a conservation site so it is possible it is no longer accessible or the dumps have been removed.
