The Catherwood Group consists of mines surrounding the former Kunanalling townsite, about 40 kilometres north of Coolgardie. The three major mines are Catherwood, Premier and Blue Bell, marked by open pits developed briefly in the late 1980's. Historic production however dates from 1894 in the area, but declined after 1900. Some company interest returned in the 1930's, but for most of the time small groups of prospectors worked the mines. From the 1980's, the leases were consolidated, more systematic exploration took place, and some mining of near surface oxide ore from small open pits.
