Approach

In the Pozo de Andara (Lake Depression) follow the track into the depression until opposite the first large spoil heap (R.C.A.6 entrance). The T144 Rosario mine entrance is just to the left. Note: There are 2 entrances marked as Rosario. The mine level is T144 Rosario (UTM 30T 0360522 4785705 1758m) and Pozo Rosario (UTM 30T 360636 4785707 1788m), which is directly above R.C.A.6, following the obvious large rift in the side of the hill.

Entrance

In the Pozo de Andara (Lake Depression) follow the track into the depression until opposite the first large spoil heap (R.C.A.6 entrance). The T144 Rosario mine entrance is just to the left.

Description

The mine entrance leads after 20m to a split in the passage. Right leads to an 8m pitch and a further scree descent leads to a 28m pitch ending in the T91 Lower White House mine level.

The original left fork was not explored. Another mine gallery takes the water from Andara and falls down a 20m pitch - not descended (but bolted)
