Pinnacles Mine

Broken Hill district, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia

Pinnacles mine is a lead, zinc, and silver mine just outside the small town of Broken Hill.

The mine appears to have been closed in 1986 and collection was primarily from dump sites. Apparently since 2003, collection is no longer allowed as the site may be reopened.

As  of 2025 it appears exploration is increasing at the site and the mineralisation may be reasonably close to the surface.
