The underground geological mapping undertaken in Carrock Mine have confirmed the results of previous work published by Moore (1977)[1] and extended the coverage into the levels that were driven after this work was published. The analysis of the samples collected during this study has highlighted that all the waters sampled have arsenic levels above WHO guideline values.
Samples of host rocks, the later lead veins and the tailings collected during the field work are stored at the British Geological Survey and remain available for detailed study.
