Abandoned Mine near Lead Mine Pass [????- ]

I recently came across this abandoned mine near the area known as Lead Mine Pass. Thought I would share some photos! I don't know how deep the mine would've gone because there's a mound of dirt (possible collapse) about 20 metres in.

This is the largest among those we visited, it has two tiers.

Some constructions can still be found in the relevant area, e.g. this two-tier cave. There's another one with 3-tier. All others are small and short dead-end ones.

Further downhill along the trail, there's the ruin of the office with a fireplace, ... the ceiling hasn't collapsed. A group of tanks can also be found closer to the path junction in the south.

A pal said that several decades ago, some villagers told him that there were confrontations between different parties against the profits of the mine. Even explosives were used during fightings.
