anyway what happened to all the kit from welly most of it was a different design to janes equipment so i know it didnt get used there ,where did it end up ?

cut up for scrap if it was made specially for welly I'd say, no sentiment involved. maybe the mills were sold (where did the ball mills moved to Crofty for the new setup come from?) begs the question why the flotation cells werent scrapped at the same time

hmmmm shame someone didnt have the forsight to mothball it or maybe when jane closed down wellington wasnt connected to white works and work continued there , u know seems to me some folks havnt done them selves any favours for the future... things that have been done are screwing things up now, prices are good yet there's not a gram of anything coming out and there's no way we can even when we now can ,things like leaving water tight doors open or ripping everything down aint helping us now. seems like selfishness and some considerably immaturity towards it all maybe why we got nothin working now as much as lousy government policy . :guns:
