Mina piticilor de la Chiuzbaia

  • Subiect: The village of Chiuzbaia, across the border from the mining town Baia Sprie, Maramureş county, was founded in 1612. The settlement is especially well-known for its rich sources of non-ferrous ores. The main source of ore in Chiuzbaia and its surroundings is the Herja deposit, which contains lead, zinc, silver, gold and antimonium. There are many old mines in this area, but none of them pre-dates the Middle Ages. Among them is the so-called Dwarf Mine, which has a square profile, a height of 0.9-1.3 m. and a width of 0.50 m. At the present time, we still do not have any documentation that would enable us to establish the year in which the exploitation of the Dwarf Mine began. However, based on what we do know, we can presume that it already began operating in the 17th century.
