Mine situated in the sand dune area of Perranporth. The only record of output is black tin, reclaimed from the dumps in 1861, 1879 and between 1882 and 1902.
There are workings exposed in the cliffs at Cotty's Point, including stopes. These appear to belong to Wheal Widden, later worked with Wheal Vlow as Perran Consols.
