Timbarra Gold Mine

Italy

The Timbarra Gold Mine was a highly controversial gold mine located on the Timbarra Plateau, at the head waters of the Clarence River, near Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. The gold ore body consisted of a greisen type granite. The protracted controversy attracted national and international

attention, and catalysed an anti-cyanide extraction campaign in Australia.
