Almost certainly a big underestimate because a lot of the early shallower mainly copper mining has gone largely unrecorded. Also this display only shows the shafts and levels, not the stoped ground above the levels where the ore was removed. This is just the central area under Redruth and Camborne. There were lot of mines around Lands End/St Ives, St Austell, Caradon and the Tamar Valley.
