ABOUT
Details the turbulent history of the Golden Cross Mine, a prominent gold and silver mine located at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula near Waitekauri, New Zealand.
Chronicles the two distinct lifespans of the mine. It first operated as an underground mine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (1895–1920), before being revived as a major open-cast and underground operation in the 1990s (1991–1998).
Davies focuses heavily on the hardships faced by the generations of miners, describing how "nature conspired to create a series of nightmares"—including severe engineering and environmental challenges, such as land instability and complex dewatering issues that ultimately plagued its later operations.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and maps.
