COMMERCE, COMMUNITY & MINING

85 YEARS OF COMMERCE AND COMMUNITY

In 2009, Mount Isa celebrates 85 years of commerce and community.

With the establishment of Mount Isa Mines in January 1924, Mount Isa transformed for a small miner's camp to a community. It was the year commerce began and the year the community made important investments in community infrastructure including accommodation, a general store, a school and a hospital.

As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Queensland's independence, we reflect on the significant contribution Mount Isa has made to the growth and economic prosperity of this great State.

• The August 2009 issue of the Mount Isa Mines monthly newsletter, Mine to Market, is now available for download. Also, Xstrata Mount Isa Mines has provided a PDF booklet for download celebrating 85 years of Commerce and Community.
