Part of Wheal Lushington. Located on the eastern side of Keriack Cove, extending southward into the adjacent valley. In the early 1920s, this mine was re-investigated under the name Sally Bottoms, and a new shaft was sunk. Although some promising mineral values were encountered during the investigation, they were found to be inconsistent and patchy, resulting in no significant production from the site.
