This listing is based on the published Mineral Statistics and therefore only records 19th and early 20th century workings. The fact that no production is recorded for some sites and for some periods does not necessarily mean that no ore was raised. Added to the list however are other sites where mining activity is known to have taken place. Sometimes the borderline between testing and working a mineral showing is not clear; hence sites which have no record of ore production are merely noted.
