Great video, you dug deep for the puns in the title! And the pasty looked good too. Particularly enjoyed the sound track, and the history of this industry that did so much to provide the wealth that Cornwall once enjoyed.
I visited recently, there's a laboratory on site, it's called The Sample House, it's where the Ore is analysed and assayed for purity, there are about 10000 samples remaining from the day the mine closed, I highly recommend a visit
They didn't use slaves in 17th 18th century Cornish mining , if maybe you went back much further in time, 2000 years ago in Roman times , possibly the Romans might have used slaves ( the Romans came to Cornwall for Tin) .
Ive learned more from this video than i did from a recent trip to the mine itself. Thank you.
Great video, and well presented.
My family worked here and lived in Pendeen..My uncle was made redundant in the late 80's
My grandfather William Woolcock worked at Geevor. ..died in 1914..buried in St Just Methodist church graveyard
Is that the same place as some of the victims of the Geevor disaster are buried?. Respect to your Grandad, he must have had a tough old life
excellent video! :)

As we Cornish know, "Hard rock makes hard men." Kernow Kensa.
If tin prices rise again, would mining in Cornwall become profitable?
yes, in fact a canadian company has bought out south crofty and are looking to reopen it within the next few years
Let's bleddy hope so
it is really interesting,and thought provoking.the video is highly educative .chemical analysis should have also been more importance
