An archipelago off (45 km) the southwestern tip of Great Britain.

All the islands of Scilly are an exposed part of the Cornubian batholith, a granite intrusion lying beneath much of the southwestern peninsula of Great Britain. Exposed masses of this Early Permian rock can also be seen at Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, St Austell, Carnmenellis, and Land's End. The intrusion is associated with significant quantities of minerals, particularly cassiterite, an ore of tin that has been mined since about 2000 BC.
