East Wheal Chance, Scorrier, Scorrier area, Camborne - Redruth - St Day District, Cornwall, England, UK

A small old mine, located just west of Great Wheal Busy and north of the road leading to Chacewater. The lodes, which both yielded copper ores, are probably eastward extensions of the lodes worked at Treskerby Mine and Wheal Chance. A lead-bearing crosscourse also occurs in the property, but there are no records of output.
