The westernmost working of the goldbelt mines. The only known workings are two adits driven in a northerly direction from near Gwasted Agnes. Mentioned as the Belle View copper mine in 1887.

Trials in quartz-sulphide veins, first worked in 1887. A great deal of effort and money was put in the workings from 1900 to 1924, in search for gold, but no record for gold having found here exist
