Levant is perhaps the ultimate submarine
mine with the bulk of it's production being from lodes far out under the sea.
It experienced all of the problems of working beneath the sea bed and despite
this over its long history produced fabulous profits for some of it's shareholders.
Levant was also the scene of one of the most important feats of engineering
undertaken when in 1965 a hole in the seabed
was successfully sealed allowing the safe expansion of Geevor westwards
into Levant. Visit the Levant
Mine website lots more photos, and up to date information about what's happening
on this site today.
