Summary

Description
English: Men mining for sheet mica near the Haast–Paringa cattle track on the Mataketake Ranges (not Mahitahi as identified by NLNZ; the photo was wrongly identified as drilling for gold), West Coast, New Zealand. One man is using a petrol powered drill, while the other is using an air pump to clean dust from the drill bit. The mine was in operation by the Ministry of Supply from 1944 to late 1945, to supply mica for the Allied war effort (used in radio condensers and aircraft spark plugs). New Zealand mica was too poor-quality and the mine was shut down at the end of the war.
