From 1815 to 1897, Cook's Kitchen Mine produced 8,859 tons of black tin, 40,920 tons of 5.5% copper ore, 120 tons of arsenic and 222 tons of arsenical pyrite. It is said to have been worked for 130 years prior to 1874, and to have been one of the most productive mines in Cornwall in 1814, but there are no records of output for that year or earlier.
