Devon Great Consols​

Devon Great Consols

Devon Great Consols (DGC) was the largest copper sulphide vein system in Southwest England, with exceptionally high initial copper grades. Tin mineralization was identified deeper in Wheal Emma, indicating polymetallic potential. The deposit has not been subjected to modern drilling techniques since its closure in 1903, leaving much of the DGC Main Lode unexplored. Tamar has a drilling program planned to test the unmined down-plunge and along-strike potential.

Once the worlds richest copper mine it is thought that significant mineralised resources remains

Devon Great Consols – unstoped ore, depth and strike extensions, parallel lodes

Exceptionally rich lodes grading of up to 13% Copper

Typical widths of the lodes were 2-8m, but in dilation zones stopes were recorded as being up to 12m thick

Targeting remaining copper resources, and potential tin mineralisation beneath the copper zone

No modern exploration at DGC

Strike length of two miles

Initial 2000m drill program ready for implementation
