The Mayer II Shaft stands on the site of Dolnohodrušský banský závod at the mouth of the Jelšová valley.
It was sunk for the construction of the New Drainage Adit (completed in 1994), which was meant to replace the Voznica Hereditary Adit – though the latter is still in use today. The shaft lies approximately 5,605 m from the mouth of the adit.
The shaft is equipped with a steel headframe and an electric winding engine housed in a separate engine house. The whole site of the Mayer and Mayer II Shafts forms an exceptionally interesting and historically valuable mining complex, built almost 100 years apart.
