From a Mine of Experience

The history of Wheal Jane is well documented. The future is being written each day, as one of the homes of Cornish mining evolves and adapts itself.

Once a byword for the most modern in mining techniques and infrastructure, for a while synonymous with mine pollution, and now a winner of a coveted Green Apple Award, the evolution of Wheal Jane is testimony to the vision, skills and dedication who still think of Jane as a place of work and of possibilities.

Today, Wheal Jane is home to a host of companies offering a wealth of expertise in mining, minerals processing, civil engineering and environment and property services to global organisations and local customers alike.  We are rightly proud of the fact that over 100 people come to work every day at Wheal Jane, all of them working in mining, minerals, environment and engineering.

Take a while and discover how Cornish mining has evolved and grown above the ground:
