Hi,
may have something for you, did some exploration there back in the late
60's / early 70's. (Birch Tor & Vitifer / Golden Dagger complex).
Also have a vague idea that the Dutchy of Cornwall may be the mineral
owners?
Will take time to find reports etc.
Also have a vague recollection of a paper being presented at one of the
meetings of the Institute of Cornish Engineers around the same period
mentioned above. Should be in their transactions.
It was difficult to get underground, & very wet!!
Regards, Bob Orchard.
