Remarkable 19th Century Ore Mines of Northampton District
The Northampton region reveals extensive Victorian era mining with multiple lodes and shafts. Notable sites include the Yanganooks and Baders mines producing up to 220 tons of ore valued over £20,000, and complex workings near the Melbourne Bay area. By 1901 only small productive lodes remained, with abandoned operations due to market declines and high costs.
