## Pennance Mine

Pennance Mine is located on the southern slopes of [Carn Marth](/source/Carn_Marth), in the Gwennap Mining District. [Tinners](/source/Tin_mining) had worked in the area since as early as the 17th century. It was previously known as Wheal Amelia. According to [Henry De la Beche](/source/Henry_De_la_Beche), in his 1839 book *Report on the Geology of Cornwall*, it produced copper. This was corroborated by [Robert Hunt](/source/Robert_Hunt_(scientist)) in his 1857 report the *Mineral Statistics of the United Kingdom of Great Britain*. Copper was produced until about 1873, in which year its output was 147 tons of medium grade [ore](/source/Chalcopyrite).[2]
