This mineralogical deposit was discussed from a geological perspective, and its contemporary workings were described and illustrated, in Burat 1870. It was named as one of several properties in a 1929 statute of a "Société des mines de cuivre de Ténès", which seems to have been active from the 1840s until 1938.
