As it appears at the surface, this mine consists of two unconnected groups of workings, but these are connected underground by a crosscut at deep adit level. The western part is located just north of Wheal Briggan, on the east side of the stream that flows north-westwards and also forms the western boundary of the sett. In this area, chiefly two lodes were worked: Main lode and South lode, both trending ENE at a distance of about 250 yards. The workings are now largely built over, except for a large dump east of the road leading to Scorrier (Treseder's shaft) and some small dumps in the fields southwest of Wheal Rose village. In the eastern part of the sett, along the road leading to Skinners Bottom, the eastward extension of Main lode was worked. Coordinates given are those of Doctor's shaft in the eastern part of the sett; its engine house is a prominent landmark.
From 1859 to 1882, the mine produced 19,270 tons of 6.3% copper ore, 150 tons of black tin, 96 tons of arsenopyrite, 16 tons of arsenic and 10 tons of pyrite. After 1875, it was amalgamated with Scorrier Consols.
