When the mine was in operation , they never liked that stuff as it jammed the jaw crushers up !!!

I worked there for a week setting up plant during commissioning . Its closed now isnt it ?

The leach heaps were being sprayed for the first time when i was there .

It was worked out a good few years ago . They then worked at Triton not far away . We used to do test work on samples , in Sydney .Those specimens were at work , all closed down now .

I never went to the mine but I have been passed on the main road a number of times .

Some old gold mines in the area. Used to go in them when I was a young bloke.
