    LA MASCOTTE MINE - History

    Heritage Inventory History of Site:
    In early 1883, the La Mascotte Reef was discovered near the head of Brown's Creek, about 5 km south of the later Glendart settlement. The La Mascotte mine provided the impetus for the Dart River goldfield's development in the mid-1880s and became the biggest producer (with the deepest workings) on the field - during 1884 its crushings gave an average yield of 1 oz 12 dwt to the ton. The mine was most recently worked just prior to WW2.
