Old workings on cliff. The old copper mine, situated on a lode crossing the headland at Hor Point, is characterized by copper stains visible on the outcrop of the cliffs on the west side. On the east side, quartz-tourmaline vein rock is exposed. The shaft of the mine was positioned in the center of the headland, approximately 150 yards south of Hor Point. However, there are no documented records of the mine’s production output.
