Page "Clogau Gold Mine" Paragraph 1

After producing copper and a little lead for quite a number of years, the mine developed into gold production in the 1862 ' rush ' and continued as a major operator until 1911, during which 165, 031 tons of gold ore was mined resulting in 78, 507 troy ounces ( 2, 442 kg ) of gold.

It worked the St David's lode of Clogau mountain alongside the co-owned Vigra Mine.

Since 1911 the mine has been re-opened several times for smaller-scale operations.

It last closed in 1998.

In 1999 the mine was taken over and held by a local exploration company.
