I know goldscraper, i lived in Kal & Kambalda for over 20 years. What a lot of people don't know is that the State Batteries were the boon to outback WA & the small prospector. In the early days there was plenty of gold to be found & mined, but if people had nowhere to crush the ore then there was no value in the ground. Hence the state batteries, it's an old idea, but with today's technology & expertise there is a lot of $$$$s to be made. At present a minimum of a 5,000 Tonne parcel of ore is required, most people havn't the finance to mine 5,000t. A couple of hundred tons at a time of say 20 gram dirt is a nice little nest egg to continue mining.
