Mine No. 6

Agrileza mines, Lophos, Lavreotiki, East Attica, Attica, Greece

Mine No. 6 is also known as the Exi Mine, which just means ‘six’ in Greek.

The mine and Lavrion is part of the Laverotiki UNESCO geopark, meaning it is a protected site.

There is a tremendous amount of information about Lavrion, but perhaps not No. 6 specifically – that said, the Bulletin Mineralogie Petrologie article linked below is an excellent writeup of the site. 

Mindat lists 63 minerals from the site, mostly copper, lead, and zinc ores.

 

The mine may be known by several names:

  • Mine No. 6
  • Exi Mine
  • Sounion Mine No. 6
