Gold Reef Breakthrough Report Updates Croydon Mining
In a Croydon mining meeting chairman M E Ganty presided as Mr Besniow urged public support for reforms. Geologist Rands described a lost line of reef once richest on the field and the mining registrar cited tonnages and values from crushed ore. Dunstan and others provided figures showing large production from remaining reefs and the need to revive reef mining and government aid.

Bennion's Lady Mary Reef and the Highland Mary Mine Legacy
The report traces Bennion’s 1002 mining lease on Bennion's Lady Mary reef, detailing shaft sinking, reef strike observations, and the push to prove the lost Lady Mary Reef along the Highland Mary line. It notes geologist Dunstan's assessment, government funding, and Bennion's drive to connect shafts and expose reef faces despite water and fault barriers.

Bennion and Bennion's Block mine subsidy controversy
Long dispute over underwriting subsidies for Bennion's Block mine at Croydon in Queensland. Bennion alleged government aid and retrospective subsidies to sink and develop the ore reef, with audits and ministerial replies showing grants approved then denied. Letters from Bennion and Mines Department records describe subsidies, equity stakes, and controversial ore recovery claims.
Mine concerns and department views on shares and prospects
Under Secretary A. R. Macdonald defends a department’s independent stance on a mine's performance. He notes substantial support of about £1500 and calls the mine disappointing despite shareholders surrendering large parcels of shares at £9.6d to limit liability. He ends by signaling a shift to the Hightend Mary topic.
