North and Western Region; Cumberland
OS NGR is for the Endeavour level, the site of the deepest workings.
Cooper & Stanley (1991):
"Workings in the head of Potts Gill date from about 1870 when attempts were made to work the outcrop of the prominent east-west veins for lead. Very little lead ore was found in the predominantly barite-filled vein but the latter mineral was worked from the outbreak of World War I. The mine was closed in 1947. The barite mined was almost all massive and very little material of specimen quality was found."
Note on the mineral list:
The deposit is of interest primarily for a suite of rare copper and lead minerals reported from the dumps of the "Old No. 1 level" workings by Kingsbury and Hartley (Hartley, 1984). These minerals, which included vanadinite and many rare supergene copper minerals, may have originated from crosscutting copper veins encountered in the barite workings. Unfortunately, there is no detailed record of the source in situ and the origin of Kingsbury's specimens must remain conjectural.
Although a number of unusual copper minerals have been reported, the suite of minerals recorded by Kingsbury and Hartley in the 1950s are considered suspect, given that Kingsbury has since been shown to have falsified a number of occurrences.
Kingsbury's minerals were said to have come from the Old number 1 cross-cut dumps at the head of the Gill (NY 320362). However, Cooper and Stanley (1990) note that Kingsbury's suite of minerals, which include chalcophyllite, conichalcite, devilline, dioptase, serpierite, and tyrolite is unique in the district. Although cornwallite has been found by subsequent collectors, the other rarities have not.
Cooper and Stanley (1990) also note that the newly described species philipsburgite has since been identified on material collected over 20 years previously.

| ⓘ Formula: Ca2Fe3+3(AsO4)3O2 · 3H2O Habit: tufts of minute, glistening scales Colour: brown Description: Kingsbury reference. |
| ⓘ Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS Description: As 'fan-shaped aggregates of bladelike crystals' with chrysocolla, malachite, brochantite, and tenorite from 'a small copper vein above the present workings' (Davidson & Thomson, 1951: 140).
Found in small amounts on the dump from the old No. 1 level (Kingsbury & Hartley, 1960).
Shaw (1970: 67) records 'a small "lead" vein in the Endeavour level containing arsenopyrite, 'marmatite', and 'a very little galena'. References: Kingsbury, Arthur W. G., Hartley, J.

| ⓘ Atacamite ? Formula: Cu2(OH)3Cl Description: Kingsbury reference. The published note (1956) gave the locality as 'a small copper vein near Potts Gill' but unpublished manuscripts in the BM(NH) make it clear that the specimens originated from dumps of the 'Old No. 1 level', a source of many rare species (see also Hartley, 1984).
Aggregates of indistinct crystals either with malachite and iron oxides or alone on a compact reddish matrix. This latter material is very similar to a specimen in the BM(NH) labelled 'Roughton Gill' and was compared directly with it by Kingsbury & Hartley who concluded that 'it would hardly seem possible for them all not to have come from the same provenance'. |
