GUID (UUID V4):

An old mining district with pipe-like quartz veins carrying Bi, Mo and As minerals. Located 14 miles ESE of Glen Innes. Records are incomplete, but total production was at least 348 metric tonnes of molybdenite and 200 tonnes of bismuth concentrate.

The Kingsgate mineral field has been the largest molybdenum & bismuth producer in NSW (to 2000). Its heyday was the period from 1905 to 1920.
Molybdenite occurs in numerous quartz pipes (around 70) which cover an area of around 700 acres.

Most mine dumps have been bulldozed over the years, and it is very difficult to ascertain whether dump material comes from a particular mine site. Unless it is known for certain where and when found, it is probably best to simply label material from these mines as Kingsgate.

It should be noted that there are several mines often simply mentioned as Kingsgate. There is no Kingsgate Mine as such, but rather a series of mines, often grouped simply as Kingsgate. Several mines in the area were also operated by Kingsgate Mining Company NL.

A Mt Moly has been mentioned as a locality here, however, it is considered that the mention of a Mt Moly at Kingsgate is not a proper locality. If there is a Mt Moly mine at Kingsgate then it must be known by another name, as it does not appear to be listed with NSW mines and does not seem to appear in any of the literature on NSW Molybdenum. I believe that it is simply a mistake in labelling by the original uploader of the locality [Keith Compton note].

(NOTE: New England is not a locality descriptor.)

Much of the Kingsgate mining field is being subdivided into small acreage housing lots (2020). Although several mining companies are still active in searching the area.
