Patterns of growth and investment in the Mount Morgan Mine from 1929 to 1990

The Mount Morgan Mine closed in November 1990 after operating for one hundred and eight years under the control of only two companies. It is the second company, Mount Morgan Limited, incorporated in 1929, which will be considered in this thesis and periods of significance in the sixty one year history of this Company will be studied in separate chapters after an introductory historiographical survey. The principal histories written by John Kerr and Lorna McDonald about Mount Morgan deal only with the events themselves and make no attempts to study in depth the reasons for them.
