Information

Up until 2019, this was an abandoned wolfram mine site. However the mine has been reopened.
The Hatches Creek Project consists of two granted exploration licences covering 31.4 km2 (EL22912 and EL23462), which cover the entire historic Hatches Creek tungsten mining centre. Hatches Creek is a large historical high-grade tungsten mining centre where mining was undertaken between 1915 and 1957. Previous recorded production is approximately 2,840 tonnes of 65% WO3. Bismuth concentrate and copper ore have also been produced.
