An amalgamation formed in 1835 from Trevorgus and Treveglos, two small lead mines that were working on different portions of the same NS-trending lode near St Merryn. The property was abandoned in 1839.
In 1838, the mine sold 24 tons of lead ore, but it is said that a considerable amount of copper ores was raised before then.
