Comstock Mine

The Comstock area is held under mining lease 5M/2007 covering over 245 hectares.

The mine consists of a gravity processing plant, tailings dam, offices, access roads, power lines and a number of open cut pits.

These open cuts were the result of previous mining operations and most run north-east with one having a dog-leg to the north.

[2] Mining in the Comstock District between the Heemskirk Granite, and the township of Zeehan; an area of approximately 65 km2, commenced in the late 1880s after the discovery of silver, lead veins and continued through until 1914.

Mining for tin, lead, zinc, silver and copper deposits occurred sporadically through until the 1960s.
