We visited, having pre-booked, and had a small number in our tour group at the beginning of the day.My daughters, 6 and 13, both enjoyed the tour and Boom! Felt like we learnt a lot from our knowledgable tour guide, who engaged both the children and adults in the group. We loved the interactivity elements of this place and panning for gold was the icing on the cake!Would totally recommend a visit.

The underground ride and the demonstrations of mining equipment. The “Boom” show at the concentrator building. I am a retired geologist and engineer who worked in the copper industry and an very familiar with mining. I do wish that there was more detailed information regarding the mining techniques used (stope, broom and pillar, etc,). Also, I wanted to know how other s were processed, such as Sphalerite and Galena and the actual mineralogies history of how the entire sulfide deposit was formed. Our guide, Tess, was very entertaining but didn’t have the background to answer some of my questions.
