The Pioneer mine, Hatches Creek  

Authors / CoAuthors

Sullivan, C.J.

Abstract

The Pioneer tungsten-bismuth mine, Hatches Creek, was discovered in 1917 and worked on a small scale from then until a short time after the conclusion of World War I, when production ceased owing to a fall in tungsten prices. Prices rose again in 1937, and exploration resumed. The general geology, ore bodies, and working of the Pioneer mine are discussed in this report.
