It is Hendre Spar Mine - I didn't think that was going to be identified at all (little visited part)

It was 2006  :dry:

Braichgoch slate mine is the real name of King Arthur Labyrinth and you asked for the name of the mine not the name of the attraction...  :unsure:

Just sayin'

I've got a feeling this isn't a copper mine and it's a gold mine in the Dolgellau gold belt

[Ian A]

So,

I could get myself into some trouble here but ... I thought Braichgoch was the slate mine with all the cars dumped in it and not the same mine as the "Corris" King Arthur thingy.

If I am wrong about that, I will (of course) give you the points although I won't take them from Stones since he got it right in the face of uncertainty.

Is it the same mine?

Always trust your feelings  :whistle:

Figra gold mine

You could read the Wikipedia article I linked to. Or look on Aditnow...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braichgoch_slate_mine

edit: Actually you can't look on Aditnow for much more than the location as it doesn't give any more info although a trip report on there gives the following:
http://www.aditnow.co.uk/documents/Braich-goch-Slate-Mine/Braich-Goch-Trip.pdf

"Braich Goch Slate Mine
Location: Corris, Powys, SY20 9RF
National Grid Reference: SH748078
Transport: Braich Goch is adjacent to the Corris Craft Centre, immediately off the A487
Access: Unauthorised access is not permitted to Braich Goch. A lower floor is used for the
King Arthur’s Labyrinth tourist attraction and upper adits were securely gated in 2008."

Subjective?  :ohmy:
Did you read the Wikipedia article where it pretty much says the same thing? I don't know how it can be subjective. There can't be two mines in the same place without some sort of multidimensional worm hole...
I knew it was King Arthurs Labyrinth, but you asked for the mine name. Strangely I assumed that was what you wanted...  :silly:  

Thank you for the points.

By the way, the cars are in Gaewern Slate Mine up the road from King Arthurs...  :whistle:
