Old Cowarra mine near Canberra reopens for potential gold revival
Five men from Forth Mineral Exploration restore the 1870s mining site at Cowarra near Canberra 50 miles south east, draining a century of water from 3600 gallons an hour and replacing timber. The site, once operated by Broken Hill Pty Co Ltd, contains maps and ore assays promising thousands of ounces of gold, with plans for a crushing plant and extraction facility if reopening proceeds.
