A shaft in the easternmost part of the Poldice Mine sett. According to Hamilton Jenkin, it was worked for some time as Bissa Pool Mine, which he considers as being identical with Bissoe Pool Mine. The latter was listed by Dines (1956) as an "alternative name for alluvial workings in the Carnon valley at Lower Bissoe", but this is revised in the 1994 reprint.
According to Dines (1956), Bissoe Pool Mine sold some black tin in 1896.
