MagnesitlagerstĂ€tte, Sunk, Hohentauern, Niedere Tauern, Steiermark, Ăsterreich
A magnesite mine, famous for nice pinolite. Located between Hohentauern and Sunk, at N47.44941 E14.46655.
An older quarry, now totally overgrown, was located at approx. N47.45275 E14.47003, elevation 1150 m.
The first records are from the year 1641 when âschwartz und weiĂ gesprĂ€ngtem steijrisch- oder klagenfurthischem MĂ€rbelsteinâ (Pinolit, Pinolistein, Pignolienstein) was ordered for the St. Stephan cathedral in Vienna.
Until about 1850 the magnesite was mainly used as a decorative stone for architectural use (Stift Admont and other churches). The Stift Admont was also the landowner and as such always part of this enterprise.
With the invention of Henry Bessemer (Bessemer Birne or Bessemer Converter) and the Thomas-Gilchrist process (both used to fabricate steel), the need for heat-resistant converter lining increased dramatically and the mining for magnesite increased accordingly.
The Sunk workings consisted of a large quarry with about 14 levels ('Etagen') from approximately 1,200 m to 1,300 m above sea level and later several adits were driven. In the years 1907 to 1910 the processing plant in Trieben was built. In 1913 55,000 metric tons of ore were processed. The maximum was 200,000 tons in 1965 with about 260 workers employed. The lifetime production was a total of approximately 5.5 million tons of magnesite, and about 4.5 million tons of it were mined in the adits.
Sunk was the third-largest magnesite mine in Styria, after Veitsch and Breitenau.
In 1991 the mine was closed for economic reasons. In 2002 tourist attractions (tourist mine etc.) were installed.
In 2013 mining started again, now operated by STYROMAG.
