Overview

Excerpt from A Review of Mining Operations in the State of South Australia During the Half-Year Ended June 30th, 1912, Vol. 16 Notwithstanding this advance in value, and the encouraging reports from England and elsewhere as to the probable future firmness of the copper market, there is hardly as much activity in South Australian copper mining as had been anticipated. Holdings are, however, steadily increasing in number, and although no new finds of importance have been reported, a good many of the old places are being restarted. The general prosperity of the country would appear to in some measure be answer able for the present lack of interest in prospecting. Men who can readily obtain good wages elsewhere do not care about working on back block mining shows or going out prospecting, and very few of the old type of prospectors, who never worked for wages, seem to be located in this State just at present. At the Moonta Mines tons of lode material were broken, and tons of 2-5 per cent. Ore (excluding precipitate) treated. From the Wallaroo Mines tons broken and tons of 346 per cent. Ore (excluding retreatment and cementation) treated. The report of the Government Geologist and Assistant Government Geologist on the Yelta and Paramatta Mines has been issued in pamphlet form, and the special report on these mines by Mr. Hartwell Conder, m.a., will be found on page 20 of this Review.
