Earlier this year, Broken Hill won a ten-year campaign to become Australia’s first National Heritage city.   In our latest video from behind the scenes in Broken Hill, we talk to the people who made it happen.

Discover Silverton Outback Australia , a living, breathing part of Australia's history. \n Even people who have never been there will recognise it, as Silverton has starred in countless films, television shows and commercials in all mediums.\n Nestled in the Far West outback of New South Wales, Silverton was built by miners in search of fortune.\n Once a bustling home to 3,000 people, residents began to leave in the 1880s when the nearby mines of Broken Hill surfaced. Many took their houses with the.\n These days less than 50 people call Silverton home and only a handful of buildings dot the landscape.

The town's smaller size has not slowed it down however.\n Silverton offers a thriving art scene, a beautiful landscape and an accessible way to learn about the rich heritage of the region.\n In June the average temperature is 15 degrees Celsius.

Like the mining industry in Australia, Perilya Limited shares a rich and proud history of determination, persistence and adaptability. Its past is etched with character-building challenges, stunning successes and most importantly, the wisdom to seize opportunities to refocus and launch forwards in this new and exciting era of Australia’s resource development.

Perilya was established in 1987.  Through a diligent approach to identifying undervalued assets, it has assembled a diverse portfolio of quality base metal operations and exploration projects.

The foundation for the company’s rapid growth came with the purchase of the Fortnum gold mine in Western Australia in 1994.

When acquired, Fortnum had ore reserves of 55,000 ounces. Over the next six years, Perilya produced 540,000 ounces of gold from the mine. This operational success generated an operating surplus of more than $70 million up to mine closure in August 2001.

In anticipation of the closure of the Fortnum Gold Mine, Perilya embarked on an aggressive evaluation and acquisition program. Broken Hill was identified as an operation that could provide Perilya with significant and sustainable cash flows with which to further grow the company.

In May 2002 the company successfully acquired the Broken Hill mine, one of the largest and most renowned zinc, lead and silver mines in the world.
