The mine is made up of a set of 11 galleries that go beyond the southern slope of the Olivet del Ros. The elements that make up this infrastructure are the loader, the mounts, which were supported by the station to lower the material from the mountain, and the trenches. The loader and the bridge over the torrent are the two most characteristic elements of this mine, which define the protection perimeter of this heritage element declared a Site of National Interest in the Gavarres area. The mine was closed in 1918, after only 26 years of operation. It is forbidden to enter the mines, not only for safety reasons, but also because they are the refuge of several species of bats, which are key to the health of an ecosystem such as the Mediterranean forest, which is at the heart of human pressure on its habitats.

In 1892, Arístides de Artiñano from Barcelona registered two iron ore mines with the names "Niño Jesús" and "Victoria Esperanza", after having carried out some promising prospecting. It was already known that iron had been mined in this area of Les Gavarres in the s. XVIII, and the growing Catalan industrial economy of the s. XIX needed this raw material to develop, along with coal. The mine is made up of a set of galleries that drill the northern side of the Bacs mountain at different levels, with 23 open galleries located. The mine was closed in 1918, after only 26 years of operation, due to the low profitability of the iron ores and the cost of transport to the foundries. The charger is the first item you will find, on the right hand side of the path, following some stairs with a wooden railing. It is the most characteristic and significant of the mining complex and is located at the confluence between the Mavalls stream and the Deveses stream. Following the path again, you will reach the main mines that are at the foot of the route. Nowadays the galleries have become an important resting and breeding habitat for bats, animals often despised for their appearance and associated mythology, but of great natural importance for their predatory ability on insects and as bioindicators of the quality environmental and the impact of climate change on an ecosystem. It is advised not to enter the galleries, for safety reasons and to preserve the tranquility of the fauna that lives there.
