Contextual History:History of Place:
Heritage Inventory History of Site:
No specific references were found regarding the retreatment of tailings generated by the mining of Beligian Reef. In the late 1870s, tailings were being retreated on Bealiba Reef, by the Queens Birthday Company. Part of the equipment employed by this company was Chilian mills. By the mid 1890s cyaniding of battery sand was being carried out in the Victorian goldfields.Heritage Inventory Description
BELGIAN REEF CHILEAN MILLS - Heritage Inventory Description
/nProvisionally interpreted as the remains of cyaniding vats erected as part of a quartz tailings retreatment process. Probably linked to concrete cyanide vat on opposite side of road (Site 019). Circles: The Belgian Tracn has cut through one of the circles, leaving only a small section of its trench. Immediately adjoining the remains of this circle is a second depression, more intact. The second circle has a diameter of 7.3m (24ft) and its central mound, with post-hole and surrounding 60cm (2ft) deep puddling trench, are both distinguishable.
Heritage Inventory Significance: This site has historical significance because it is part of a group or network of sites, the totality of which is considered to be significant (Site 019, 020, 021).
