Description

A later working of Wheal Sally to the East of the original mine.

Between 1920 and 1925 this mine was investigated under the name Sally Bottoms and a new shaft sunk. Some reasonable values were encountered, but these proved to be patchy. No production ensued.

Access Details

Some underground exploration remains.
