Cafodd y cyhoeddiad ei wneud gan y Prif Weinidog Mark Drakeford a’r Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth, sydd â chyfrifoldeb am Dasglu’r Cymoedd, Lee Waters, yn ystod ymweliad ag Amgueddfa Mwyngloddio Cefn Coed. Bydd yr amgueddfa'n cael cyllid gwerth £1.8m gan Dasglu'r Cymoedd, yn ogystal â dros £1.5m y mae Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi'i glustnodi ar gyfer gwaith atgyweirio gofalus a thriniaeth arbenigol ar y fframau pen yng Nghefn Coed. Gyda'i gilydd, bydd y cronfeydd cyfun hyn yn cynnig cyfleodd i ddatblygu safle Porth Darganfod enghreifftiol ar gyfer Parc Rhanbarthol y Cymoedd, a fydd yn talu teyrnged i dreftadaeth ddiwylliannol, ddiwydiannol ac amgylcheddol cymoedd y gorllewin.
First Minister Mark Drakeford and Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport, with responsibility for the Valleys Taskforce, Lee Waters, made the announcement during a visit to Cefn Coed Mining Museum. The museum will receive £1.8m of funding from the Valleys Taskforce in addition to more than £1.5m which has already been committed by Welsh Government for specialist treatment and delicate repair of the headframes at Cefn Coed. These combined funds will enable the development of an exemplar Discovery Gateway site for the Valleys Regional Park which will draw on the cultural, industrial and environmental heritage of the western valleys.
