Mt Charlotte was first mined around
the time gold was discovered in the area by Paddy Hannan in 1893. Small scale mining to a depth of approximately 130 metres commenced in 1893 and continued
until the mid 1930’s. In 2013, KCGM’s iconic Mt Charlotte
underground mine is celebrating its
50th year of continuous operation. The mine was expected to close on three separate occasions; in 1976, 1998 and 2002 but is still operating. It is 1.2kms deep.
