About Peak Hill
Peak Hill is the name of a goldfield, locality and the site of a gold mining ghost town in the Murchison Region of Western Australia. The gold mine covers 2,162 hectares and consists of four open-cut mines: Main, Jubilee, Fiveways and Harmony.
In the adjacent region to the locality, there are considerable non-auriferous mineral deposits. Adjacent fields included the Horseshoe field.
Early exploration at the site occurred in the 1890s, when gold was discovered by William John Wilson in 1892. The townsite was gazetted in 1897, and the field has had varied fortunes even in early years.
