However, these mines ended their activity in 2000.Cercal do Alentejo presented indispensable reserves of ferrous minerals, useful to various metallurgical and metalworking industries.Physically, the ore from the Serra das Tulhas mine was similar to the Serra da Mina and Toca do Mocho concessions - it was massive, not very compact and of medium hardness. Sometimes it appeared hard and spongy, but in regions where the manganese content rose a lot, it became a bit earthy.
