Formerly Trebellan. Exploited several north-south trending mineral veins located directly north of the Treamble mine. One of these veins was considered to be the southern continuation of the Trebellan lode, and it’s speculated that this same vein was exposed in the western pit of the Treamble Mine. Operating as part of the Great Retallack sett, the mine extracted 5 tons of lead ore in 1869.
