Ernest Henry Mine QLD @ ExplorOz

Zingari Road
Cloncurry, Queensland, 4824

Ernest Henry Mine is named after the father of Cloncurry, Ernest Henry, who explored the district in 1866 with Roger Sheaffe. At that time he discovered numerous copper deposits in the region including the Great Australia, Mount Oxide and others. Roger Sheaffe went on to establish the first pastoral company in the district, Fort Constantine. Ernest Henry Mine is located within the present day boundaries of the pastoral property.

It was officially opened in October 1997, with commercial production commencing in March 1998. The first stop will be a visit to The Pit. At the start of 2007 the Pit was 382 metres deep and 1,280 metres wide. 10.7 million tones of ore and 48 million tones of waste were mined throughout the 2006. While looking from the observation platform into the pit you will see the machinery used to excavate the material; dump trucks used to transport the material; machinery used in the pit; and maybe even see a blast and how the explosives are placed. During the tour you will see a working crusher and mill where the ore is concentrated to a product that is ready for smelting. A truly memorable experience, mining now makes up a significant part of the Cloncurry economy.
