Today we're going to take a look at another of these brilliant gold mine lithographs from the early 1860s.
This time it's the Pioneer Gold Mining Company, which was an underground alluvial mine working on the Durham Lead near Buninyong. This company was registered in March 1857, commenced work a few months later, and after several years of hard work they struck the gutter towards the end of 1860.
This image depicts the mine's operations both above and below the ground, and there are some very interesting features shown here!
