Mining talk on Kiwarrick Mountain and gold hopes
Wingham observers recount a field visit to Kiwarrick Mountain where Mr Beattie and partners claim a new reef may yield prolific gold. Mines Inspector H F Pearson sampled shafts while Mr Chambers described a three to four foot reef, promising 5 to 20 ounces per ton, with exploration to continue and a government report awaited. Nearby old workings show both promise and risk as prospecting shifts toward possible alluvial gains.
