The ancient copper mines of Tamassos, as well as the mine of copper, gold, and copper ferropyrite, are located to the northeast of the village, which explains why the history of Kapedes is also forgotten in the depths of time. This is also affirmed by Archimandrite Kyprianos (1788), who writes that the green soil in the land of the Capes is noble, presumably in reference to the rust of the metals.
