The mine Svornost in Jáchymov (Joachimstahl), Czech Republic is a former silver-uranium mine and the world’s first and for a long time only radium mine, nowadays the deepest mine devoted to the extraction of water which is saturated with radon and has therapeutic benefits given its chemical properties. This healing water, which is approximately 13 thousand years old, is used under medical supervision for the treatment of patients with neurological and rheumatic disorders.
