⚒ Did you know... ⚒ - The first step in mining

⚒ Did you know... ⚒
- The first step in mining gold is Exploration Drilling
- Geologists explore target areas and identify potential gold mineralisation
- A Drill Rig drills deep into the earth to remove core samples
- Geologists study the core samples for gold
- Finally, a mine will be designed and constructed so mining can begin!
⚒ Fun Fact ⚒
The deepest Diamond cored drill hole in Australia was completed at the Super Pit, at a depth of 3,011.5 metres!

Come check out our Exploration Drilling Shed where you can learn more about the process and see the different types of Drills on display. You can also Captain an Ausdrill longreach drill!

The population explosion that came with the Gold R

The population explosion that came with the Gold Rush in the 1890s saw a desperate need for a reliable water supply in Kalgoorlie. Natural water was scarce and was so precious it was more expensive than whiskey! Not only vital to sustaining life, water was also crucial to mining operations and so a solution to the lack of water became critical. Famous engineer Charles Yelverton (CY) O’Connor investigated the problem and went on to achieve one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century. He devised a plan to build a pipeline through which water was pumped from Perth to Kalgoorlie. The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme was opened in 1903 after much controversy and so Kalgoorlie and the mining industry flourished.

💧 Fun Fact 💧

Water was so expensive that rather than wash dirty clothes, the wealthy would just buy new clothes as it was cheaper than buying water!

For a unique perspective of how pioneers and prospectors lived and worked in the harsh environment of the Goldfields it’s all here at Hannans North Tourist Mine
