What this report is for

One of Australia’s oldest mined metals, with deep history in Tasmania and northern NSW. This page begins with what is actually present in the published register, then points back to the authorities behind those records.

At review date the group comprises 10 operating, 3 in development, 2 care & maintenance. A status is the latest value ingested from the cited release; it should be rechecked with the issuer before operational, commercial or travel decisions.
