A small lead and copper mine west of the village of Talley with some activity between 1854 and 1870 when (according to the Mining Journal of 1882, page 614) 314 tons of lead ore and 54 tons of copper ore were sold.
In 1879 the Llansawel Lead mining Company was formed to acquire the mine, this was succeeded by the Talley Mining Company in 1881 and then by the Penegarreg Silver-Lead Mining Company the same year, and who continued to work it until 1892.
The mine was worked to a depth of 10 fathoms below deep adit, although most of the ore recovered appears to have been from above this level.
