Leeds & St Aubyn Mine, situated in the Wendron Mining District, lies approximately a quarter of a mile south of Germoe village. Operating from the early nineteenth century until 1873, the mine exploited four main lodes and a caunter (reverse direction) lode. These included North Lode, Wheal Brooth Lode, Cold Harbour Lode, Paull’s Lode, and the caunter lode known as Standard Lode. Numerous shafts were employed across the sett, such as Chain Shaft, Grace’s Shaft, Harvey’s Shaft, Curtis’ Shaft, Footway Shaft, and West Boundary Shaft for North Lode. Wheal Brooth Lode was worked from Engine Shaft, Andrew’ Shaft (also known as Wheal Brooth Shaft), Tin Shaft, Mount Pleasant or Stoddart’s Shaft, Eastern Shaft, Flat Rod Shaft, Gilbert’s Shaft, and New Brooth Shaft. Cold Harbour Lode was developed by Wilson’s Shaft, Stevens’ Shaft, Brae’s Shaft, Pearce’s Shaft, and Kitchen’s Shaft. Vivian’s Shaft and New Shaft were utilized for Paull’s Lode. Between 1857 and 1871, Leeds and St. Aubyn Mine yielded 770 tons of black tin and 2 tons of copper ore.
