Photos of Adits (horizontal mines)

Legrena Valley, Lavrio, Greece

(An adit is a type of entrance to an underground mining operation in which the entrance shaft is horizontal or nearly horizontal. Adits are usually built into the side of a hill or mountain, and often occur when an ore body is located inside the mountain but above the adjacent valley floor or coastal plain. The use of adits is generally called drift mining)
