A silver-lead Mine discovered in 1863, with a total of approx. 20 tons of galena raised in 1886. No further records. This may have been named the Wheal Mary at some point, but there are no records to confirm this at this time.
One of a series of small silver-lead Mines following along a small fault line running parallel to the coast. The fault separates beds of Kanmantoo group rocks and Normanville group rocks, both of the Cambrian era.
