According to Anna Gómez, it is about "(...) iron ore or magnetite mines that were in operation between the years 1880 and 1895. To extract the mineral, a wagon road was built that went from Vallcàrquera to the 'ancient path ral del Congost, behind the Torre de Can Parera'.

The mine has comfortable dimensions throughout its route (about two meters high by one and a half meters wide). The mouth is partially obstructed by a collapse of the margin where it is open, but it is still quite comfortably accessible.

After 17 meters with about thirty centimeters of water, the gallery continues inland for another 14 meters. Now the floor is covered by a thread of water that flows from an underground course that appears almost at the end of the main gallery.
