Charters Towers has been a prolific gold and copper producing district for more than 150 years. Until the mid-1980’s, Charters Towers QLD produced more gold than Kalgoorlie and by comparison is now substantially under-explored and a prime target for consolidation. There are currently 778 gold deposits registered with Geological Survey of QLD within a 100km radius of the mill, excluding those owned by operating mines. Operating mines in the region include Ravenswood and Mt Wright (EMR), Pajingo (MINJAR) and Thalanga (RED RIVER).
