Spotted Tiger Mine

Northern Territory, Australia

Spotted tiger mine was a mica mine in the Harts Range area of the Northern Territory of Australia and it is now abandoned. It was once lauded the "greatest mica mine the world". The mine primarily produced muscovite, a form of white mica, although smoky quartz and garnet were also found there. It got its name from the staining of much of the mica found there which made it appear 'spotted'. The Traditional Owners of this site are the Pwetyalaneme and Artwele peoples.
