The Prokop adit represents the uppermost adit in a set of four superposed adits which were used to explore and mine greisen ore veins and molybdenum-rich pegmatites. At the beginning of World War II the adit has been created for the first time at 562 m above sea level and targeted Quarz-molybdenum stockwork zones on its top. After World War II the stockwork zones were developed by three different levels and a blind schaft from the Prokop adit to the Barbora. Currently the adit entrance is discreet and covered with a lid. Above the adit exist a few outcrops of the quartz-molybdenum stockwork which continue to be a rewarding mineral locality.
