ABC Broken Hill: Oliver BrownA new mining agreement reached in Broken Hill could secure the city's historic mining industry for the next 50 years.
Pinnacles Mine, which sits 15 kilometres south-west of Broken Hill, has entered what some are calling a "game changing" agreement with Broken Hill Mines Limited . However, Mr Williams said it had become clear the resource-rich mine was too much for the family to manage alone. BHM executive director Patrick Walta said the Pinnacles site was quite "special" and would be a "multi-decade" project."It's got nearly 3,000 metres of drilling core there that hasn't even been assayed yet and developed."Photo shows Old mining infrastructure in Broken Hill at the Rasp Mine
