Did you know that Cornwall and Devon are rich in mineral resources, with a long history of mining for tin, copper, lead, and more? While the area’s mining heritage is celebrated through the Mining World Heritage Site designation, it also leaves behind a hidden legacy of old mine workings—both recorded and unrecorded—that can pose risks for development.
That’s where a Mine Search comes in! 🌍
A Mine Search report is crucial for identifying potential ground stability problems that could affect your property or development site. An effective and reliable mine search doesn’t just rely on data—it also depends on the expertise of a qualified mining geologist who can interpret available information, add local knowledge, and assess areas with limited evidence.
