Abandoned Gold Mine (Mount Morgan)
Mount Morgan Mine was a copper, gold and silver mine which operated from 1882 to 1981, with all operations officially ceasing in 1990. Whilst the site has sat largely unused since then, a treatment facility and its team have been tending to the huge pit of water which contains elevated levels of copper, aluminium, magnesium and other metals. Whilst controlled releases of water during heavy rainfall have been conducted, the mine overflowed into the nearby Dee River in 2013.
An estimated 327,000 ounces of gold still exist at the site. After decades of locals and officials advocating to have the site reopened, the QLD government has finally funded works to redevelop and reopen the site whilst also retaining anything that is classed as heritage listed.
