Capricorn Copper mine in Queensland, is a high-grade copper and silver mine with multiple ore sources, which has benefitted from substantial investment to position it for stable and consistent future production.

Copper mineralisation was first discovered in the area of Capricorn Copper in the 1880s. Smaller scale mining commenced from the 1920’s, in the form of small open cut mines and some underground mining, continuing intermittently until the 1960’s.

In 1969 Survey and Mining Limited acquired the mining rights for the area now known as Capricorn Copper and commenced development of the first Capricorn Copper deposit – Mammoth. 1970 marked the beginning of large-scale mining operations at Capricorn Copper, and included the construction of ore processing facilities and the first production of mineral concentrates.
