The old processing site had been abandoned for more than a decade and was a public safety concern for the Shire of Coolgardie and the local community. In response to community concern, Pro-Force was selected as a pilot site for inclusion in the Abandoned Mines Program.
To address public safety concerns, the Abandoned Mines Program held a public auction in 2015 for the sale of the Pro-Force infrastructure. Following the removal of the processing plant, works to clean up the site were carried out in 2016 including the removal of tyres and scrap material. Additional works to fence an open mine shaft and install signage were completed in 2019.
As safety concerns at the Pro-Force site have been addressed, Abandoned Mines Program involvement with the project is complete.
