		In the case of large and successful mines, the village formed the nucleus for what is now a town (eg Cobar, Mount Morgan, Mount Perry, Burra, Queenstown), the layouts of which often owe their patterning to the needs of the mines, still evident even if the mine is now long closed.
		At Mount Morgan and Cobar the deposits contained substantial proportions of both gold and copper, so the on-site evidence represents the processing of both minerals.
		Other notable mines were at Mount Perry (1871) and Mount Chalmers (1869), and the largest of all at Mount Morgan (1903) and Mount Isa (1943).
