The mine lies in an area of prominent spoil to the right of the Cyffty to Llyn Geirionydd road. The early shallow workings were based on the Champion and Francis lodes to the south east. There are a number of open workings and two shallow adits. An underground shaft (rigged c2000) connects shallow Francis lode workings with deeper workings on the Goddard Lode. In order to exploit the New and Goddard lodes, a number of shafts were sunk including the Engine (Spion Kop) and Ladderway Shaft. Both of these have now been filled in. Later, the 500m long Pontifex Adit was driven from Llyn Geirionydd to intercept the New Lode. This adit is open but fenced off and is found near the Llyn Geirionydd car park. Near the old tramway is the abandoned Netherton Level, intended to intercept the New Lode, but personal investigation showed this to end after a few hundred metres.
