Zeehan Mineral Field History

1882 Frank Long discovered Silver-Lead at New Mt Zeehan Mine

1883 to 1912 most major deposits discovered

Intense mining activity to 1912, many mines closed by 1914

Production 1890 – 1919 262,883t of Silver-Lead ore

Tribute mining in old workings continued until 1960’s

Post WW2 minor production from New Montana-Zeehan Western until 1958and Oceana until 1960

Tin-copper production from Oonah Mine (15-20,000t) 1897 - 1910

Minor cassiterite noted at Queen Hill 1937

Placer then Gippsland commenced Modern Exploration in the mid 1960’s

Queen Hill Tin Deposits first Intersected in 1971.

Aberfoyle – Gippsland JV saw intensive exploration until 1992.

RL5/1997 acquired by Stellar Resources and commenced exploration in 2010

PFS completed July 2013.
