Conrad mine

New South Wales, Australia

Conrad mine was a silver and base metals mine at the locality of Howell, on the western slopes of the Northern Tablelands, within the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. The mineral deposit that was exploited by the Conrad mine was a complex ore body, containing silver, lead, zinc, tin, arsenic, and copper ores, with some gold as well. From 1906, the Conrad mine's operations also included the workings of the adjacent King Conrad mine. The ore body, primarily, was worked for its silver content, but other metals and minerals were also produced. The mine was operated, between 1898 and 1913, with two interruptions, and from 1953 to 1957. It produced over 3,500,000 ounces of silver. The mine was well known as a source of rare mineral specimens.
