EAST PANT DU LEAD MINE

摘要

In North East Wales a belt of limestone runs from Prestatyn in the north to Llangollen in the south. Veins of lead ore are found throughout most of this limestone. In the region between Loggerheads and Llanarmon yn Ial the veins run approximately NW to SE (Figure 1). Further to the east, the Cefn y fedw Sandstone overlies the limestone and lead ore is found in pockets or 'flats'. The best known mine here is the Jamaica lead mine which produced a profit of 17,000 pounds during its short life (1846-1858).
