Rudnik pod imenom Drauwald (dravski gozd) je bil vpisan v rudarsko knjigo A pod vložno št. 2901 z dne 14.10.1850. Prvi lastniki rudnika so bili Jakob Krušnik, Karl Kranz in Johan Baumgartner. Kopali so srebrnonosno svinčevo, bakrovo in cinkovo rudo. 1853. leta so v topilnici v Ožbaltu ob Dravi pridobili 74 kg srebra. Rudnik je ob menjavah lastnikov in s prekinitvami obratoval do leta 1934.
Posebnost tega opuščenega rudnika je mineralna raznovrstnost. Od prvih raziskav geologov in mineralogov, ki so obiskovali rudnik, ter opisanih mineralov barita, malahita in azurita, pa do danes je bilo najdenih in določenih v okoli 350 m dostopnih rovov preko 70 vrst mineralov.
Z raziskavami mineralov v LMJ smo na novo določili 16 vrst mineralov, po večini v mikroskopskih kristalih. Med njimi je večina redkih tudi v svetovnem merilu, ali pa se pri nas najdejo le v remšniškem rudniku, kot npr.: samorodni baker, cuprit, rosasit, brianyoungit, aurikalcit, linarit, beaverit, posnjakit, langit, karbonatni cianotrichit …
Tudi Cesta je hodila celo pot z nami po hribu navzgor. Le kdo bi si mislil? :) Koliko lažje delo so imeli rudarji, ko so rudo spravljali po tej strmini navzdol.
A mine under the name Drauwald (Drava forest) was entered in the mining book below entry no. 2901 of 14.10.1850. The first owners of the mine were Jakob Krušnik, Karl Kranz and Johan Baumgartner. They were digging silvery lead, copper and zinc ore. In 1853, 74 kg of silver was obtained in the smelter in Ožbalt near Drava river. At the time of the change of owners, the mine operated with interruptions until 1934.
The particularity of this abandoned mine is mineral diversity. In about 350 m of access routes barite, malachite and azurite were found among over 70 other types of minerals.
Minerals research in LMJ has redefined 16 types of minerals, most of them in microscopic crystals. Among them, most are rare even on a global scale, or they can be found only in the remnant mine, such as: native copper, cuprit, rosasit, brianyoungit, aurikalcite, linarite, beaverite, posnjakite, langit, carbonate cyanotrichit ....
