70’s dumps.Fowey Consols Mine was one of the deepest, richest, and most significant copper mines in Cornwall. It was created through the combination of several small mines, many of which are no longer visible. The mine yielded rich ores of copper and tin, primarily from east-west trending veins, along with younger veins rich in bismuth, cobalt, nickel, and uranium, which trended north-south. See also the New Fowey Consols mine.
