Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consolidated Gold Fields was a major British mining house founded by Cecil Rhodes in 1892. Diversifying from its South African gold interests, the company invested widely during the following century. This included investments in the Western Australian gold sector from the 1920s and exploration and mining activities elsewhere in Australia and the Territory of New Guinea. In the 1960s, Consolidated Gold Fields Australia (CGFA) was formed. CGFA had ambitious plans and the financial backing from London to establish itself as one of the main diversified mining companies in Australia. Investments were held in the historic Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company, in Renison, and it was one of the first groups to develop iron ore deposits in the Pilbara of Western Australia. It also acquired a major interest in mineral sands. While the London-based Consolidated Gold Fields ceased to exist in 1989, taken over and dismembered by renowned corporate raider Hanson Plc, its Australian subsidiary, renamed Renison Goldfields Consolidated (RGC), continued for another nine years as a diversified mining group before it suffered its own corporate demise, facilitated by Hanson. CGFA and RGC were important participants in Australia’s post–World War II mining sector. This book is a history of a once great British mining-finance house and its investments in Australia. Consolidated Gold Fields had a rich and broad history in Australia; its ultimate fate did not demonstrate its potential as an Australian mining company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gold Fields of Australia: Notes on the Distribution of Gold Throughout the World, Including Australia, California, and Russia It is interesting to look back and to make out the development of events, but it is no less so to see them pass before our eyes to be present and to take part in them, and we have now arrived at a period far more important than that which we have just contemplated. Circumstances external to those which we have for our special subject and consideration, have been no less in fluential than they in giving it this character. The establish; nient of the locomotive and the ocean steamer, the laying down of the telegraphic wire, the discovery of electro-metallurgy, and the application of the daguerreotype, create a new era' in the practical arts; but never, perhaps, has the progress of science been more extraordinary. The advancement of the electro magnetic sciences, of geology, of ethnology, and of the econo mical sciences, has done much to liberate mankind from de pendence and dogmatism, and to direct them to original research, while there have been those events in politics, in religion, and in social economy, which show that some great action on the human mind is in progress. At this time, when in addition to the gold workings of Russia and Virgin discoveries in Australia and California have opened a eld for enter prise, which has set the nations of the world in movement, the position of the English race is still more striking than it was three centuries and a half ago. By two great empires it now keeps a great part of the world under its influence; on the shores of the Atlantic, of the Pacific, and of the Indian Ocean, our settlements are the means of awakening enterprise, and give us the opportunity of profiting by each new event; from the Icy Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, America belongs to our people Australia we have encompasse'd, and marked out its destinies, and in the south of Asia hundreds of millions already own us as their masters.
