Virtual Field Trip: Virtual Field Trip to Parys Mine

Reading

I suggest reading Chapter 16 of Johnson, C., Affolter, M.D., Inkenbrandt, P., and Mosher, C. (2017) An Introduction to Geology. USA: Salt Lake Community College. This is the chapter on Energy and Mineral Resources, and will help you to understand Parys mine.

Additional

There is much more information about Parys Mine online: I suggest the website of the Anglesey Underground group, which has a lot of information about the history, industry, and people as well as the mine itself: https://www.parysmountain.co.uk/
