- Abstract
In the past, Bendigo was one of the premier gold mining centres in the world with several of its mines, boasting at various stages, the deepest shaft in the world. In terms of past production, the Bendigo goldfield is the second largest goldfield in Australia, and the seventh largest in the world outside of the huge fields in South Africa. Large scale reopening of the Bendigo mines will depend on the outcome of an evaluation programme at the Williams United and possibly other areas. If everything goes according to our expectations, we can expect a prosperous future in the deep mines of Bendigo.
