A section of DGC at the river level on the river bank on the opposite side to Gunnislake Clitters. The main exploitation has taken place to the north-west for about 100m including the very extensive open stope (gunnis). There are several winzes but these have all flooded as they are at river level. The main output was tungsten and tin.(Feb 2005).
