General information

The Wheal Jane Group consists of five interrelated businesses; Wheal Jane Ltd, Carnon Contracting, Wheal Jane Laboratory, Wheal Jane Consultancy and the South Crofty Collection. Each of our businesses can work independently or in any combination to provide a one stop shop consultancy and contracting service covering land, property and construction. The South Crofty Collection is a unique craft business producing jewellery and gifts made from Cornish tin.

Our businesses have operated for 25 years and each has become a leading and respected operator in its specialist field. Our client base includes private individuals, companies of all sizes and public sector organizations. We operate in Cornwall, Devon, throughout the South West and in many parts of the world.

Our extensive experience, expertise and knowledge covers a wide range of civil engineering, environmental and mining related disciplines, and we welcome the opportunity to work on projects large or small. Our contracting company has acquired a reputation for taking on the more complex and bespoke contracts and delivering them successfully, bringing into play specialist skills acquired during past operations in Cornish mines when required. All our businesses offer a very client-orientated personal service.

Wheal Jane was worked for tin, copper, silver, zinc and arsenic from the 18th century.
Mineral extraction ended in 1992, following the collapse of tin prices.

A vast subterranean complex of hundreds of years of workings was abandoned, but the mill, laboratories, equipment and above all the people kept Jane alive.

Today, Wheal Jane is home to a host of mining and minerals companies, environmental consultants and mining related manufacturing. The knowledge and expertise that placed Cornwall at the forefront of industrial engineering lives on, the continuity with centuries of activity remains unbroken.

Over 100 people work full time at the site, building and constructing mining equipment, analysing ore samples from all over the world, designing and implementing solutions to the environmental legacy of mining; and even manufacturing items from Cornish tin.
