Broken Hill is an inland mining city in the far west of outback New South Wales, Australia.It is near the border with South Australia on the crossing of the Barrier Highway (A32) and the Silver City Highway (B79), in the Barrier Range.It is 315 m (1,033 ft) above sea level, with a hot desert climate, and an average rainfall of 235 mm (9 in).The closest major city is Adelaide, the capital of

A newly formed alliance of mining companies is expected to invest up to six billion dollars in order to mine an iron ore deposit west of Broken Hill.
The Broken Hill Ore Deposit is located underneath Broken Hill in western New South Wales, and is the namesake for the town. It is arguably the world's richest and largest zinc-lead ore deposit. The Broken Hill ore deposit was discovered in 1883 by boundary rider Charles Rasp, who discovered the gossan (weathered sulphide outcrops of massive lead-zinc sulphides) on a feature known locally as
The lead-silver-zinc ore deposit of Broken Hill, New South Wales, is among the great ore deposits of the world because of its size, richness, and continuity. Up to the end of 1946 approximately £50,000,000 in dividends had been won from recoverable metals worth £210,500,000 gross contained in 63,800,000 tons of ore. The deposit is a hypothermal deposit of Precambrian age resulting from the
Carpentaria’s flagship project, the Hawsons Iron Project near Broken Hill, NSW has been identified by independent analysts as the world’s leading undeveloped high quality iron ore concentrate and pellet feed project. Click through to our website to learn all you need to know about this project.
Broken Hill type deposits exhibit post depositional modifications. High-grade metamorphism (amphibolite facies), metasomatism, and deformation have all affected the morphology and architecture of Broken Hill-typ deposits, coarsening the ores, converting original alteration assemblages to metamorphic mineral assemblages partially melting ore
The Broken Hill mine is situated in high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Early Proterozoic Willyama Supergroup in the Broken Hill Block of western New South Wales. The ore deposit, consisting of six or more distinct lode horizons, is generally stratabound, with intense structural modification along shears and related folds causing complex ore geometries and upgrading of mineralisation.
The Broken Hill ore body formed as a result of volcanic activity about 1685 million years ago. Seawater heated by magmatism associated with this volcanic a...

1 Ore Deposits ORE DEPOSIT TYPES AND THEIR PRIMARY EXPRESSIONS K.G. McQueen CRC LEME, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200 and School of REHS, University of Canberra, ACT 2601. INTRODUCTION Ore deposits are crustal concentrations of useful elements that can be exploited at a profit. Like all crustal rocks, they consist of minerals formed by geological processes.
Diamond drilling campaign at Cangai Copper Mine, targeting supergene ore and massive sulphides, delivered exceptional assayed results up to 14.45% Cu, 5.93% Zn & 40.1 g/t Ag Zinc is the secondary focus at Cangai Copper Mine and Mt Oxide, especially as Australia is one of the largest global exporters; further, ~50% of zinc production is used in the construction industry for galvanising steel to
It was Sturt who mentioned a "broken hill" that appeared as having a break in it. It was exactly in these broken hill(s) where Charles Rasp discovered one of the world's richest silver-lead-zinc ore body. It didn't take long until a thriving mining town developed, and mining has been an important part of the Silver City's economy since then.
community in Broken Hill and beyond. Many Australian museums and private collec-tors have preserved some outstanding specimens of this transparent rhodonite from the Broken Hill ore-body, both in matrix (e.g., figure 6) and as individual crystals (again, see figure 1). North Broken Hill Ltd. closed its operations in 1993, but development
