| History of the Eersteling Project |
|
Mining started in May 1874 and continued until the second Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1902) when the mine was shut down. The mining rights of the fragmented mining and exploration properties were consolidated and on July 16 1987, Eersteling Gold Mining Company Limited was formed and was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
