Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 3 workings within 5 miles of Mellan: 3 past producers. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Gold, Silver, Silver, Gold. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
