Several veins were exploited, with key late 19th-century shafts including Batter’s Shaft (SJ 2130 6830), Powell’s Lode Shaft (SJ 2150 6860), and an inclined shaft (SJ 2130 6930). However, much of the historical mining landscape has been cleared to make way for modern industrial development.

Some remnants of mining remain. At SJ 2140 6820, near the waste ground north of the Red Lion Public House, grass-covered spoil heaps and shallow workings mark the site. Powell’s Lode Shaft still stands slightly further north, near Rhosesmor Post Office. To the south of the village, on the edge of a sand and gravel quarry (SJ 2140 6730), a lone shaft may be linked to the Hendre mining operations.

The area was worked by the Rhosesmor Mine Company and later by the East Halkyn and Halkyn United Companies. The sett at Batter’s Shaft on the Westminster Vein was operated by the Halkyn East Company from 1891 to 1910 and was drained by the Deep Level Tunnel.
