Opal Mine

There is a fully functional opal mine right on the land the Castle sits upon.

Mineral Claim #13804. Location 20-12.

Two 3 foot holes.

All gear included:

• Short throw hoist.
• Escape ladders.
• Pelican pick.
• Wheel barrow.
• Jackhammer.

The mine is virtually untouched. Only around a total of 30 feet of drives.

The opal in this area is of the Nobby type rather than seam opal.

Before you do any mining, you will need to do a couple of courses which are conducted by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment. (Mine Operators Course and Mine Safety Awareness Course)

Current annual fees for the mining claim are $245.

Lets hope Sir Roy takes off his sunglasses down the mine….
