Min Min lights are a light phenomena told in Aboriginal stories, and spreading to wider Australian folklore based on a large number of sightings in outback Australia after European settlement. Generally described as fuzzy white balls of light hovering just above the horizon. Science has not adequately been able to explain the sightings.
The Min Min Light Gold Mine is just west of the Wealth of Nations Mine at Dunnsville. Only one source was found. The lease is owned by prospectors, Wisby and Norton in 1937. The mine had produced to this point 1468.33 ounces of gold from 33.14 tonnes of ore. Several prospectors are working deposits around Dunnsville at this time.
