Friends of King Edward Mine

Over the last 20 years, volunteers have steadily worked towards recreating the mine as it was at the turn of the 20th century when it became the Camborne School of Mines training mine. To safeguard the future of the Mine it was decided to create the ‘Friends of King Edward Mine’.

It is the aim of the Friends to support the work and objectives of KEM in co-operations with its management. These are our objectives;

• To raise funds to be used for the preservation. conservation and benefit of KEM.
• To encourage eduation, research and to raise awareness of KEM.

Membership is £15 per year.
