Hello Robert,
I assume you've tried these two, though very few individuals are

particularly after 1600.
Donald, M B 1955 /Elizabethan Copper: The History of The Company of
Mines Royal, 1568-1605/. London: Pergamon
Hammersley, G 1973 'Technique or Economy?: the Rise and Decline of the
Early English Copper Industry, /c/.1550 -- 1660' /Business History/
