The Morning Star Gold Mine is located in Woods Point, a small mining town 120 km NE of Melbourne, Victoria. Being Australia’s second ranked hardrock goldfield, gold has been mined here for around 150 years. Morning Star Gold has rebuilt and reopened the mine for gold production including the main vertical mineshaft that was 940 metres deep with over 23 levels. Minecom have recently installed a Minecom Head End Combiner and above ground antenna. With the completion of the Minecom Leaky Feeder System the site will have complete above and below ground communication coverage. This type of technology was not available when the mine was last operational when at one point in the early 1940s it was Australia's premier gold mine. Leaky Feeder is a reliable and proven technology for effective underground radio communication. The Minecom Leaky Feeder System’s backbone also allows for upgrading capabilities such as new digital radios or Minecom’s Emergency Management solutions which work over the system and can be AC or Leaky Feeder powered. With the incorporation of these and other new technologies the Morning Star Gold Mine may once again be Australia's premier gold mine.
