| Abstract/Notes | Hillgrove is one of the most important of the New South Wales gold fields discovered in recent years, and it is of special interest on account of the occurrence of lodes containing both antimony and tungsten, associated with gold. The recovery of gold and antimony, from ores containing the two metals in conjunction, has always been a metallurgical problem, and in Hillgrove we have a field which offers a valuable opportunity to anyone who can devise a workable process for separating the two metals. The scheelite deposits have recently been proved to be of considerable importance also, and it is hoped that the publication of this brochure may, by drawing the attention of the public to these interesting mineral deposits, have the effect of reviving the mining industry of the district. The object of this report was to furnish a clear characterisation of the goldfield to the mining public by brief reference to the history , topography, geology, and mining features of the field. |
