See also: Truan (Trewan) Mine. Appears as two separate groups of workings on the surface, but they are connected underground by a crosscut at deep adit level. The western section lies just north of Wheal Briggan, situated on the east side of a northwestward-flowing stream, also forming the western boundary of the mining area. Here, the focus was mainly on two lodes: the Main lode and the South lode, both trending ENE approximately 250 yards apart. Most of these workings are now covered, except for a significant dump east of the road to Scorrier (Treseder’s shaft) and some smaller dumps southwest of Wheal Rose village.

In the eastern part of the mining area, along the road leading to Skinners Bottom, the eastward extension of the Main lode was exploited. The coordinates provided are for Doctor’s shaft in this eastern section, with its engine house serving as a prominent landmark. Between 1859 and 1882, the mine yielded a total of 19,270 tons of copper ore with an average grade of 6.3%, along with smaller quantities of black tin, arsenopyrite, arsenic, and pyrite. After 1875, it was amalgamated with Scorrier Consols.
