Excerpt from Notes on Chromic Iron Ore: Its Modes of Occurrence, Mining, Dressing, Uses, and Value; With a Register of New South Wales Localities

In 1892, Mr. Wright, a chemist at Mittagong, interested himself in a group of chromite deposits on the east fall of Mooney Mooney Range, about 4 miles north-easterly from Coolac railway station. These eventually became the scene of the first practical mining operations, over tons being dis patched from them during 1894: and 1895. The site, originally known as Wright's Mine, afterwards became the Vulcan Mine.

The' opening of the Coolac Mine directed attention shortly afterwards to another group of deposits on the north and south falls of Mount Lightning, about 5 miles southerly along the same range, of which Mount Lightning is an isolated mass cut off by the intersecting channels of the Murrumbidgee River and Adjungbilly Creek, about 18 miles above the town of Gundagai (on the same river), the terminal railway station in that direction.

Several large ore-bodies occur on the flanks of the mountain, those on the north fall being designated Quilter's Mines, and those on the south Mount Mary Mine. Under this heading descriptions will be found in the Register.
