3100 1979 A new prospecting licence was taken up for Buchans Lode.

Two Cromwell men, Owen and Eric Hopgood (who had mined sheelite and gold) took up a prospecting licence for Buchan's lodes. The lodes were opened up by bulldozer cuts and samples were taken. The samples were sent to England for evaluation. Unfortunately it proved to be uneconomic to open up an antimony mine on the Carrick Range.
