Primarily a tungsten mine. Situated along the cliff edge at Cligga Head, positioned just northeast of the greisen-sheet vein stockworks. Adjacent to these workings, at the same level, is a substantial dump filled with arsenopyrite, wolframite, iron, and copper minerals. However, it’s important to note that some of these dumps may originate from the Perran Great St George and Good Fortune mines, which also have workings further inland, west, and north of the airfield currently utilized by a glider club. Access to the mine itself is possible through the adit at beach level. Due to frequent rockslides, portions of the mine workings on the cliff face have been exposed, and they can be reached by climbing up inside the mine from the adit level.
