4 E-W tin and copper lodes with a N-S lead bearing crosscourse. Recorded outputs 1823-35 1800 tons copper ore, 1837-9 and 1852-85 640 tons black tin, 1856-75 200 tons copper ore. In addition 30 tons arsenopyrite and 13 tons of arsenic.
Exploratory work was carried out here at the time that work was carried out at nearby Hemerdon Ball in the early 1980's, though unlike Hemerdon this venture showed no promise and was closed down (personal communication).
