Afrikaans: Vyf kopermyne wat van 1905 tot 1992 (88 jaar) naby Musina, Limpopo in bedryf was, en gekenmerk word deur hul opvallende kwartsmineralisasie. Die 5 skagte of myne is Artonvilla, Spence, Messina, Harper en Western Campbell, elkeen effens verskillend wat plaaslike geologie en mineralisasie betref. Die skagte is geleë op of langs antieke delwerye, op ertsliggame wat konsentriese afsettings van kopersulfied, nl. chalcopiriet, borniet en chalcosiet, bevat.[1]
