West Comet Mine, Dundas mineral field, Zeehan district, Tasmania, Australia

Other than the Comet-Maestri, the West Comet mine (1890-1910) produced more silver and lead than any other mine in the Dundas field. The workings, ~2 km east of Dundas, were formerly part of the Mt Dundas mine (on the Dundas Prospecting Association lease) and/or the Central Dundas mine, but in 1896 the two companies amalgamated to form the West Comet mine. Rod Williams worked the mine for crocoite during the 1970's and presently John Bishop is doing some mining there.
