Mount Jukes Mine sites
The Mount Jukes Mine sites were a series of short-lived, small mine workings high on the upper regions of Mount Jukes in the West Coast Range on the West Coast of Tasmania.
Upper Lake Jukes, and Lake Jukes had short lived mining companies incorporating the names of the lakes.
These mine sites are examples of early twentieth century ingenuity where all equipment was transported with difficulty up small tracks from locations such as Crotty.
Access to parts of the slopes of Mount Jukes have been assisted by the construction of the Mount Jukes road by the HEC following their construction of the King River Dam and the impoundment of Lake Burbury.This list incorporates mines on Mount Darwin as the mineral zone of Mount Jukes is frequently cited as the Jukes-Darwin mineral zone.
