Shaft at Holne Chase tin mine was sunk close to the western edge of the openwork. A thin curtain of rock separates the shaft from the deepest point of the earlier working where the shaft has broken through leaving an overhang. Hoisting in the main shaft was powered by a horse whim 6 metres to the north-west. The size of the spoil heap suggests the shaft was not sunk to any great depth.
