A gold mining lease in the Pitcairn Range, approximately 25 miles east of Peterborough, has been worked by Messrs. Asaris, Zoloteve and Walvert under an agreement with a syndicate represent by Mr. Jones. The gold occurs in narrow gently dipping veins and large quantities of barren rock are removed in mining the veins by mechanical methods. The veins have an average width of 6" but are zoned and only the central 2" core contains gold. The grade of the central core is generally less than 1 ounce/ton and mining operations have been unprofitable. Mapping of the adjoining Burra 4 mile sheet by Mr. R. Mirams has allowed a tentative correlation of the Pitcairn Mines with the Sturtian Series, Upper Glacial Sequence. The Mongolata mines to the south are also in the above sequence but not at the same stratigraphic or lithologic horizon.
