The
CMA came into being when miners from Geevor, Pendarves,
Wheal Jane and South Crofty formed a committee to create
an association for ex-miners and mine workers. Its aim
is to ensure that the community is not lost: it is to
act as a focal point for socialising, mutual assistance,
sharing of news and support, if it's needed, for the future
of mining in Cornwall. All former
miners and mine workers are invited to join and participate. |

The
Carn Brea Mining Society was formed in 1974 with the aims
of encouraging interests in all aspects of mining, geology,
and mineralogy in the South West of Britain. |

Commencing
as the Cornish Engines Preservation Society in 1935, this
is the premier society for anyone interested in Cornish
Industrial Heritage in its widest sense. |

This
website is a resource for anyone studying, or interested
in, the geology of southwest Cornwall. It stems from a
literature review for a research degree (PhD) undertaken
at Camborne School of Mines in Cornwall on 'The tectonics
of Permian magmatism and mineralisation in SW England'
and covers the history of the Variscan Orogen, granite
magmatism and mineralisation within the area of the former
Gramscatho Basin, west of St Agnes. |

The link Sites Scheme – how you
can see more mining heritage for less.
Starting this summer, Geevor is working with other charity-operated
mining heritage sites to add even more value to the price
of your entry. The Link Sites are:
Levant Mine , close to Geevor, with its working beam
engine.
King Edward Mine , near Camborne – a complete
mineral processing site from the 19th century.
Morwellham , a Victorian village on the banks of the
Tamar with a ride into the George and Charlotte copper
mine.
Get up to a 50% reduction on ticket prices by producing
a ticket from one of the other sites. National Trust
members can obtain discount vouchers.
