Main shaft There may be a slope entrance on the east side of the mine. The mine map is unclear (very pixelated), so words are not legible, and the text near that location is just dots, and could easily be a date of survey. There is also almost certainly an air shaft of some kind, but the map is too poor quality to find such a small feature.
