The first Welsh copper smelting works was established at Aberdulais in 1584. It was also in the Neath Valley, in the late seventeenth century, that copper smelting, refining and working first became a commercial concern in Wales. The valley's waterfalls provided the power for two copper mills near Neath Abbey, the first of which opened in 1694.

The matte, about 45 to 55 percent copper and the remainder iron silicate slag, is formed in a very fast, almost instantaneous reaction; hence the name "flash smelting.". The matte sinks through the lighter slag layer and flows down the. inclined crucible. Conversion to copper proceeds in a zone around position two.
