| What The Tours Are All About In conjunction with Copper Mines Of Tasmania, The Tour offers a unique opportunity to safely visit a working underground mine. Traveling approximately 9 kilometers down the "Main Decline", you will have the experience of seeing and standing on ground that is untouched by the sun and older than the dinosaurs. You will see our Tamrock Loaders and Tamrock 60 tonne Dump Trucks which haul approximately 10.000 tonnes of rock containing Copper Ore, Gold and Silver to the Primary Crusher everyday. To add to to the wonderment of your underground visit, You will Visit The Shaft & Hoisting Operations, and Main De-Watering Pump Station. You will also Visit The Main Headframe that brings the Underground to the aboveground. This is only one of the few Mines in the world that offers such a unique and exciting opportunity |
