See also: Gold Conols. Traces its history back to at least 1777 when it produced 41 tons of lead ore, indicating its probable existence long before then. Operations continued intermittently until around 1826. A brief reopening occurred in 1830, lasting only a year due to low lead prices. In 1848, the mine merged with Wheal Golden and East Wheal Golden to the north. Another round of reworking took place from 1867 to about 1870. Dines suggests that iron ore was also extracted, likely from the Perran Iron Lode intersected by the Wheal Golden-Penhale lead lode. Recorded output includes 100 tons of copper ore, 1,475 tons of lead ore, 7,150 ounces of silver (extracted from lead ore), and 7,100 tons of iron ore.
