You could probably find the annual reports of this company
(assuming it was a registered joint stock limited liability
company) in the stock exchange archives currently held in
the Guild Hall of the City of London. there may also be
returns to the registrar of companies in the public Record
office at Kew (see their web site - BT31 - details from my
Mining History network web page) Regular (weekly) details
of share prices, divideneds etc will likely be given in the
share lists of the Mining Journal. the problem is, that you
will need to spend several days in london to look at all
this stuff.
