Dolcoath was a Copper and Tin mine in Camborne, Cornwall and had been mined for copper since 1720. In 1895 it was reconstructed with a new shaft and became a limited company. In 1920 having become almost worked out, the mine was closed. The company was then reformed in 1923 as an amalgamation of several smaller mines with a new circular shaft. In 1936 it was sold to South Crofty Mine.
