This mine was known as Wheal Bramble, also called East Wheal Vor at some stage. Three lodes are recorded to have been explored, these being Penpraze Lode, Park-an-Step Lode and Wheal Bramble Lode. No production records are known and the mine was considered to be unsuccessful.
Lode material recently observed on the surviving dump at Engine Shaft displays Sphalerite, Pyrite, Chalcopyrite in strongly chloritised vein material and Cassiterite present in Quartz/Tourmaline veinstones.
