Brilliant and St George Gold Mine, Charters Towers, 1905. Taken from: The Northern Miner, 2 March 1900 The Billiant and St George United.

During the half-year 16,966 tons of stone have been crushed for 19,620oz. gold - inclusive of 13 tons sent to the smelters for a return of 71½oz - which realised £69,673. This shows an average yield of 1oz. 3dwt to the ton. £54,000 was paid in dividends, equal to 7/6 per share. The average mining cost has been reduced to 18/10¾ per ton. The cyanide works treated 16,880 tons of sand and sludges for £16,090 worth of bullion, the working costs including royalty, 11½d per ton, being 6/9 per ton. The profit on the stuff treated is therefore about 12/3 per ton. Since 1893 the mine has crushed 15,208 tons of stone for 214,781oz gold - an average of 1oz 8dwt 5¾gr to the ton - worth £796,695 and delivered £424,200 in dividends, equal to £2 18/11 per share.
