Isolation Mine

Snelston, Derbyshire Dales District, Derbyshire, England, UK

Old, abandoned copper and lead mine. The site is now overgrown and at least partially backfilled.

The site may also be known as Snelston Mine, or Snelston Copper Mine.

The minerals found at the site appear to primarily be microminerals. I wasn’t able to find too much information on the site other than the Mindat mineral list, to be honest.
