Cookes Creek represents one of the largest tungsten reserves in Australia, having estimated reserves of 9.5 million tonnes of ore grading 0.16% tungsten.[3] The largest deposit is called the Big Hill Tungsten Deposit. It consists of clean scheelite which is easy to extract.[1]
Tungsten was first mined in the area in the 1950s.[1]
