The abundant deposits in the Pyrite Belt can be grouped in three zones according to their location and geological significance:
Northern Zone: It is the zone with the highest number of deposits, along a 26 km long and 5-10 km wide band. It includes small to medium size deposits, although it also includes the giant deposit of Aguas Teñidas. Base metal and gold contents make it the most attractive for mine prospecting.
From west to east, the most important mines are: San Telmo, Lomero-Poyatos, east Aguas Teñidas, Cueva de la Mora, Monte Romero, Concepción, San Platón and San Miguel.
