The main dyke is running from north to south through the Goldberg, from the village Brandholz to the village Goldkronach. The gold bearing dykes are quartz surrounded by phylittic clay slate, diabas dykes and hyllitic gneiss. The gold ore is gold bearing pyrite (FeS2) with a gold content of 400g to 1kg gold per ton ore. The dyke contains a nuber of other minerals.
The show mine Besucherbergwerk "Mittlerer-Name-Gottes" was opened to the public in 1997. It is a Medieval tunnel which is developed as a show mine for 105m. The Medieval mning techniques and the working conditions of the miners are explained. An extension of the show mine to a total length of 400m is planned.
