Avebury Nickel Mine


This is the main mine operation working a scattered group of related nickel sulphide deposits located about 10 km west of Zeehan. A rare example of a significant non-magmatic, skarn-style Ni sulfide deposit associated with a metasomatised ophiolite sequence.

A group of nickel sulphide rich, skarn-like deposits. The host rocks are a series of metamorphosed and altered Cambrian sediments, mafic volcanics and ultramafic intrusives. Nickel mineralisation was probably formed in several stages. Nickel was originally present in olivine in the ultramafic host rock, which was serpentinised and carbonate-altered. The nickel released was remobilised, probably by the Devonian Heemskirk Granite intrusion, then focused and redeposited as sulphides and arsenides in trap sites around the top and margins of the altered ultramafic body (Kamenetsky et al, 2016; Keays and Jowitt, 2013).

The Avebury deposits were discovered by Allegiance Mining N.L. in 1997 by core drilling a prominent anomaly identified in an aeromagnetic survey. Further drilling had by 2002 identified a resource of four million tonnes at 1.5% nickel and minor cobalt, with feasibility studies showing that the deposits were capable of supporting a medium-sized underground operation. Further exploration work, including construction of a decline in 2006, increased resources to 12 million tonnes of 1.11% nickel. Full scale underground mining commenced in December 2006, with work on construction of the processing plant continuing throughout 2007/2008. The first nickel concentrates were produced in July 2008. Following metallurgical issues and large falls in the nickel price, mining ceased in January 2009 and the concentrator was placed on care and maintenance in March 2009. Further exploration work was undertaken in 2010 to establish more reserves. The Avebury project was developed by Allegiance Mining NL which was taken over by Zinifex Australia Limited in early 2008, became part of OZ Minerals Limited in mid 2008, then Minerals and Metals Group (MMG). MMG sold the mine to QCG Resources in 2014, who kept it on care and maintenance.

Purchased by Dundas Mining in 2017 for $25 million but has remained under care & maintenance until being sold to Mallee Resources in 2022, who are working hard to commence mining asap. Current resources are estimated at 29 Mt at 0.9%Ni and 0.02%Co (https://malleeresources.com.au/avebury-nickel-mine/).
