History
Little is known of the history of this mine but its total output was 3,964
tons of barite and 3,061 tons of lead.
The lead ore also contained some silver.
It was also known at other times as New West Snailbeach Mine and North Tankerville Mine, obviously trying to
cash in on the fame of its neighbours.
Surface Remains
The mine buildings have now been built on by a bungalow and coal yard. To south of these is the collapsed main shaft
in a large crater. There are opencut
workings south of this and old bellpits on top of the hill to the west of the
opencut.

North-west of the main shaft is a collapsed adit and east of this is a
collapsed shaft. Deep Level is easily
identified from its large tip but it is collapsed. There used to be an
aerial cableway spur from here that joined the man one from Bog Mine to
Minsterley. The remains of the transfer
station can still be seen above Burgam Mine.
