Mine Group - Hut and Shaft |
| Significance |
Mining began on this site in 1858 when malachite, copper and some dioptase and cuprite were extracted from shallow depths, but the mine was abandoned in 1860. There were several attempts to re-open it, but most of these were affected by the problems of remoteness and scarcity of timber. It was described by the government geologist in the early 1900s as the best of the smaller copper mines. The site is representative of the mining history of the Flinders Ranges which was the alternative industry to pastoralism in the region. It is possible that the hut was built during the first few years of mining. Very few miner's huts have survived in the State. (Flinders Ranges Heritage Survey, 1995) |
