I think you will find the attached book ref' of interest.
It is a small booklet describing in some detail the Cementation/leaching
system used at the Wallaroo & Moonta Mines in South Australia, there are
many photos which may be of interest, I have spent much time working across
this site years ago.
THE WALLAROO AND MOONTA MINES, Their History,Nature,and Methods together
with an account of the Concentrating and smelting Operations.
ADELAIDE: Hussey & Gillingham Ltd, Printers, 106 & 108 Currie Street 1914.
Reprinted by Gillingham Printers 1980, ISBN 0-9595629-3-1
Hoping this will be of interest.
Take Care
