Note: Following description is from Mindat. For the avoidance of doubt, mineral collecting in the Caldbeck Fells is only allowable under license, which are granted for specific zones.
The mine ceased operations in 1894, yet in the years following its abandonment, the tips have been reworked for baryte. The sizable main dumps have yielded specimens of aurichalcite, brochantite, cerussite, hemimorphite, pyromorphite, and calcite. Notably, calcite is a relatively uncommon mineral in the Caldbeck Fells, making these specimens particularly noteworthy.
