    Geoscience in south-west England IMPACT OF MINING ON THE SEDIMENT GEOCHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY OF THE HELFORD RIVER, CORNWALL D. PIRRIE1, M.R. POWER1, G. ROLLINSON1,3, A.B. CUNDY2 AND D.C. WATKINS1 Pirrie, D., Power, M.R., Rollinson, G., Cundy, A.B. and Watkins, D.C. 2002. Impact of mining on the sediment geochemistry and minerology of the Helford River, Cornwall. Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 323-328. The geochemistry and mineralogy of the intertidal sediments of the Helford River, Cornwall have been examined to assess the potential impact of mining activity on sediment supply. Cores from Polpenwith and Polwheveral creeks show a pulse in Sn (1000-1100 ppm), Cu (800-900 ppm) and Zn (500-600 ppm) at a depth of 30 cm below the present day sediment surface; As and Pb values are typically low and show little down-core variation (<130 ppm As and <78 ppm Pb). Two cores recovered near Gweek have generally low and invariant down-core geochemical signatures, except for a single sample from the base of Core 2 which shows a sudden increase in Sn to >1800 ppm. In addition, two cores were collected from the mouth of Mawgan Creek. Core 4 shows a low but invariant geochemical signature but Core 3 shows a significant down-core increase in Sn (>1900 ppm Sn), Cu (588 ppm) and Zn (1297 ppm). The heavy mineral assemblage is dominated by cassiterite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, along with less abundant zircon, monazite, ilmenite, rutile/anatase, sphene, wolframite, barite and rare slag products. Diagenetic pyrite, bornite and Fe oxides also occur.

  • Cobalt Mineralisation in Cornwall – a New Discovery at Porthtowan
    G.K. Rollinson, N. Le Boutillier and R. Selly COBALT MINERALISATION IN CORNWALL – A NEW DISCOVERY AT PORTHTOWAN G.K. ROLLINSON 1, N. LE BOUTILLIER AND R. SELLY Rollinson, G.K., Le Boutillier, N. and Selly, R. 2018. Cobalt mineralisation in Cornwall – A new discovery at Porthtowan. Geoscience in South-West England, 14, 176–187. Although cobalt mineralisation has been noted in Cornwall and Devon in the mining literature, there are limited details of its production and paragenesis; detailed mineral studies of cobalt are almost non-existent. This paper describes in detail previously unrecorded cobalt mineralisation discovered at Porthtowan, Cornwall, in the vicinity of old workings which are part of the Wheal Lushington group of mines, immediately west of the village. A small number of massive sulphide/gangue samples (taken from a larger sample suite) were chosen to be as representative as possible. Analysis was carried out using a QEMSCAN® automated mineral SEM-EDS system, which found that samples contained up to 50% cobaltite, along with chalcopyrite, bornite, galena, sphalerite, acanthite, erythrite, matildite, chlorargyite and other primary and secondary mineral species. This assemblage is typical of a sub-type of crosscourse mineralisation, with secondary species a result of significant weathering and supergene alteration, complicated by seawater infiltration due to the coastal location. While the number of samples is limited, the detail of the mineralogical assemblage is significant, as it is the first time such an assemblage has been subjected to this level of scientific scrutiny in Cornwall. 1 Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus, Penryn, Cornwall, TR10 9FE, UK.

  • The Micro-Geography of Nineteenth Century Cornish Mining?
    MINING THE DATA: WHAT CAN A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TELL US ABOUT THE MICRO-GEOGRAPHY OF NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MINING? Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Eighteen, University of Exeter Press, 2010, pp.15-32) For many people the relics of Cornwall’s mining heritage – the abandoned engine house, the capped shaft, the re-vegetated burrow – are symbols of Cornwall itself. They remind us of an industry that dominated eighteenth and nineteenth century Cornwall and that still clings on stubbornly to the margins of a modern suburbanised Cornwall. The remains of this once thriving industry became the raw material for the successful World Heritage Site bid of 2006. Although the prime purpose of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team is to promote the mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon and the Cornish mining ‘brand’, the WHS website also recognises the importance of the industrial and cultural landscapes created by Cornish mining in its modern historical phase from 1700 to 1914.1 Ten discrete areas are inscribed as world heritage sites, stretching from the St Just mining district in the far west and spilling over the border into the Tamar Valley and Tavistock in the far east. However, despite the use of innovative geographic information system mapping techniques, visitors to the WHS website will struggle to gain a sense of the relative importance of these mining districts in the history of the industry. Despite a rich bibliography associated with the history of Cornish mining the historical geography of the industry is outlined only indirectly.2 The favoured historiographical approach has been to adopt a qualitative narrative of the relentless cycle of boom and bust in nineteenth century Cornwall.

  • The Separation of Galena and Blende from Their Gangue As Practised at the Mines of Sentein, Ariege, France
    3% LUEIS ON THE SEPARATION OF GALENA AND BLENDE. [Selected (Paper No. 1942.) The Separation of Galena and Blende fiom their gangue as practised at the Mines of Sentein, Arihge, France.” By ERNESTDU BOISLUKIS, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E. THISis a record of detailed observations made whilst preparing formarket galena and blende, at the mines of Sentein in the Pyrenees. The oreswere intimately mixed in the proportion of 8 to 10 per cent. of galena, 15 to 20 percent. of blende, and gangue consisting of hard quartz, quartzose rock, schist, &c. The market lead-ore obtained included from 16 to 20 oz. of silver per ton.The blende did not contain sufficient silver for valuation. By experiments in the laboratory, it was found that the galena lost very little silver byfine crushing and washing. The machinery, supplied by Mr. George Green, of Aberystwyth, was erected in existing buildings; but these were so scattered that it is not thoughtnecessary to givea plan of them. Instead of this, a method of arranging the whole of the required plant under one roof, with slight modifications, that would render such proposed dressing-floors more efficient, is given in Plate 7, Figs. 1, the sub- stantialstructure indicated being necessary on account of the climate of the Pyrenees, where protection from frost and snow is indispensable. Water-power was used, being abundant, but the motors are not shown in Figs. 1, for, depending on the position of such proposed floors, steamor water wouldbe used asmight be found most advantageous. Mention is, however, made later on of the power required.

  • Emplacement Styles Within the Land's End Granite, West Cornwall
    Read at the Annual Conference of the Ussher Society, January 1999 EMPLACEMENT STYLES WITHIN THE LAND'S END GRANITE, WEST CORNWALL. T. POWELL, S. SALMON, A.H. CLARK AND R.K. SHAIL Powell, T., Salmon, S., Clark, A.H. and Shail, R.K. (1999). Emplacement styles within the Land's End Granite, west Cornwall. Geoscience in south-west England , 9, 333-339. The Land's End Granite is the youngest of the major plutons of the Cornubian batholith and comprises a number of discrete bodies of both coarse-grained granite (CGG) and fine-grained granite (FGG). Detailed re-mapping of selected parts of the composite Land's End pluton indicates that individual granite intrusions take a variety of forms, including dykes and sub-horizontal sheets. U-Pb (monazite) and 40 Ar-39 Ar (muscovite) age data have been interpreted elsewhere to indicate that the CGG and FGG of the northern "Zennor lobe" were emplaced c. 2-3 m.y. before the CGG and FGG of the southern "St Buryan lobe". Separating the two lobes is a large body of aphyric granite, the "St Just wedge", which is as yet undated. Relationships at Porth Nanven, where an irregular contact is discordant to a magmatic-state fabric in CGG of the St Buryan lobe, and at Porth Ledden, where sheets of aphyric granite intrude CGG, suggest that the St Just wedge is younger than the two main lobes. The composite nature of the pluton is exemplified by variations in grainsize and texture and in the size, abundance and alignment of alkali-feldspar phenocrysts.
