| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Appealinna Mine Ruins & Miner's Hut, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park |
| Registered Name |
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) |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
