At the Towans, Hayle, half mile NW of Phillack. The dumps, if there are any, are overgrown, or built on.
On the beach at the south west end of the Black Cliff, at the bottom of the access steps, is a drainage adit for the mine. The cliffs and bedrock around the adit and further west show traces of old workings. In this area the veins and pockets of albite and quartz are mineralised.
The area is very popular with holiday makers in summer.
