Diana Polisensky Depression of Que Que's Lucky Break|The new company was able to restart the mine on a shoe string using the existing plant and no doubt many of the same workers, at a time when work was hard to find. Their capital, less than £5000, was thirty times less than the capital of the old Gaika Mine Company of nearly £140,000. They carefully removed the rich pillars in old stopes, mined blocks between levels and retreated old slimes dumps. In the glory years, 1931-35, they were able to issue a total of almost £100,000 in dividends: an average of more than 400% return on investment per annum for the local shareholders.
