Borehole UC 65
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borehole UC 65 is a provincial heritage site near Evander in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.[1]
In 1985 it was described in the Government Gazette as
In 1951 Borehole U.C. 65 was the first prospecting hole to penetrate the auriferous Kimberley Reef in the vicinity of the present Evander. This event led to the development of an important new South African goldfield, viz the Evander Goldfield.
The heritage site is situated on portion 107 of the farm Winkelhaak 135, IS.[1]
