Police say they received reports of people breaking into the North Bradda mines, despite clear signage and steel gates.
This is a particularly dangerous complex of tunnels and shafts, with numerous vertical drops as well as the usual risks of noxious gases that are associated with confined spaces.
The Southern Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “Mines are not safe to explore without specialist equipment and knowledge.
“It is illegal to do so, but our greatest concern is the risk to any would-be explorers and any subsequent rescuers.
“Having read all this and you do still want to explore mines, the Laxey Mines Research Group can be contacted via their website http://www.manxmines.com/“
