Abstract

The importance and historical significance of our predecessor's activities associated with mining cannot be overstated. With rapidly improving technologies many old and previously closed out workings are being re-activated for now economic ore. Much of the debris and physical evidence of our forefathers influence on the State's, let alone the Nation's development is being swept aside and lost. Conservation activities to preserve these segments of our heritage is therefore vitally important. One such exercise relating to the Eastern Goldfields is described here.
