About Copper Mine Point
Copper Mine Point was developed in the mid-nineteenth century when a company brought Cornish miners to Virgin Gorda to extract copper ore. The mine operated from the 1830s to the 1860s, shipping ore to smelters in Wales for processing. It represented one of the few industrial mining ventures undertaken in the British Virgin Islands during the colonial era.
