The site kind of comprises two seperate sites. There is the lower level, Driggith Mine, and a higher level which is referred to as Driggith open cut, the source of the pyromorphite-mimetite crystals from the site.

The mine is estimated to have produced 3800 tons of lead and 40000 ounces of silver, however, the production records are incomplete.
