Mining Industry Record for 1936 in Western Australia
The 1936 gold mining season in Western Australia shows strong output with an estimated 840 000 fine ounces from state fields aided by new plants and higher gold prices following franc devaluation and postwar monetary accords. Major developments include Whuna and Triton mills, Moonlight leases processing, new smelting at Wituna, and the Big Bell Little Bell deal near Cue with railway and mill construction planned. The industry faces ongoing expansion with several large low grade lodes unlocking and potential productivity from Fin GAll properties contingent on depth mining and company investments.
