Lucknow Gold Mines, a group of small underground gold mines, including Wentworth Mine, St. Aignans, Bismark Range, Lucknow Pups, South Lucknow. Exact locations not known.


The Lucknow area has produced over 15.7t of gold. The mineralisation is largely contained in the faulted footwall contact of serpentinised ultramafic lavas that have been tectonically emplaced in the Lucknow Fault within andesites of the Ordovician Oakdale Formation.
