Incorporated in Paris, France

The Company succesfully exploited the Lead (galenite) and Zinc (Sphalerite) deposits at Villemagne, St-Sauveur Camprieu, Cévennes, France from 1920-1932. The occurence is also known as filon de St Sauveur (Vein of St. Sauveur). The ore minerals were sold to la société de la Vieille Montagne at Viviers. In 1932 the company was forced to shut down the miningactivities due to the sharp decline in prizes. The concession was passed on in 1943 to la société minière et métallique de Pennaroy.
