Peak Hill Open Cut Experience
Mingelo Street , Peak Hill NSW 2869
Description
The historic Peak Hill mine operated between 1893 and 1917 producing about 60,000 ounces from 500,000 tonnes of rock. Alkane re-excavated for gold on the site between 1996 and 2002 retrieving 145,000 ounces gold from 4.9 million tonnes of rock.
While most of the historic operations were consumed by the recent mining activity, some of the old workings have been preserved.
The Open Cut Experience includes both the historic works and the more recent mines with several walking paths and viewing platforms having been constructed.
Self guided tours are now available daily (FREE ENTRY) between 9am and 4pm (closed Christmas Day & Good Friday).
