Information

The state battery was erected in 1898. The private company involved then immediately went into liquidation, leaving its employees unpaid. The usual complaints from prospectors about mismanagement and gold being lost was levelled at the battery, but this was not unusual on prospector fields. The battery sands were processed in 1941 by J.A. Cocher, 810 tonnes for only 64 ounces of gold.The Mulline Goldfield is 90 kilometres west of Menzies. It is a two kilometres wide, 15 kilometres long band of workings, trending north-south. Innumerable historic shafts exist north and west of the Evanston-Mulline and Davyhurst-Mulline road junction. The central and southern portions have some modern abandoned pits, and shallow oxide pits, mainly west of the Davyhurst-Mulline Road.
