The mine workings are located on the cliff edge at Cligga Head. Just north-east of the greisen-sheet vein stockworks, and on the same level as those, is an extensive dump packed full of arsenopyrite, wolframite, iron & copper minerals. The workings further inland, west and north of the airfield that is now used by a glider club, belong to the Good Fortune Mine, which formed part of Perran Great St George Mine.

The mine itself can be accessed through the adit at beach level. The frequent rocksleds have exposed some of the mine workings in the cliff face; they can be reached by climbing up inside the mine from adit level.
