Imagine having newly created office space in Grade II* Listed historic buildings sympathetically conserved and refurbished to the highest standards possible. Nine new workspace units at King Edward Mine, near Troon, West Cornwall have been created towards the rear of the site in the former Count House and Carpenters’ Shop. The units are of varying sizes with tenants already occupying some of the units. King Edward Mine, the former home of Camborne School of Mines, was acquired by Cornwall Council in 2009 and is substantially leased to a local charity to run as a mining heritage attraction. The site is recognised as having Outstanding Universal Value as the oldest, best preserved mine within the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site (WHS) for the pre-1920 period. The entire complex is within the WHS and includes sixteen Grade II* Listed buildings, the Grade II Listed South Condurrow Stamps Engine House and benefits from the Great Flat Lode mineral tramway multi-use trail passing through the site. The development has been made possible thanks to a grant of over a million pounds from the ERDF Convergence Programme and funding from Cornwall Council. Using local expertise and traditional building techniques, both buildings have been comprehensively restored to offer a range of accommodation Terms of Letting and facilities. All units are offered on new leases for a minimum term of 3 years.

    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.
