The old Petra Rossa mine, known as the Finosa mine, opened in 1912 to extract lead, silver, manganese and iron ores, and was closed after the Second World War. Source: WikipediaThe Finosa mines extracted silver-bearing lead (galena, cerussite), zinc (blende) and copper (bornite).Most of the mining at La Finosa was carried out in open pits.Prospecting on the site began in the 1910s.

Departure from Cozzano (Corse-du-Sud)
Stage 13 between the Usciolu PNRC refuge and the Croci sheepfold follows the new route via Matalza (since 2011). A stage with not much elevation gain, but one that should not be underestimated. The start along the ridge is a bit technical up to Punta di a Scaddatta. Then a descent through the forest, crossing fields of ferns before a gruelling climb, part of which is on a track, up to the Croci sheepfold on the Coscione plateau.
