Text By Minas de Bedar
There are appr. 46 mine entrances in the Gamberra area. The most intense mining activity occurred at the eastern side, with three mine entrances with interconnecting adits forming a maze of tunnels. Two mines further to the west were exceptional as they were built as vertical shafts, 4.5 metres and more than 21 metres deep respectively. They both have horseshoe shaped spoilheaps around the shafts containing galena bearing limestone, indicating these must have functioned as mines. In fact,a large area of additional spoilheaps seem to be connected to these mines, indicating a high level of production from these ‘shaft mines’.In the south western corner of the site, two iron mines were encountered, the spoilheaps of which contained siderite and not galena. These mines form part of a larger complex of mines found throughout the surrounding area.
