History of the Sandstone - Lord Nelson Project
Gold mining commenced during the 1890s and the township of Sandstone was established as a mining centre in 1907. Currently Troy operates the only gold treatment facility in the Sandstone region through its Sandstone Treatment Plant situated near Troy’s first open pit, the Bulchina mine.
 
Geology of the Sandstone - Lord Nelson Project
The Sandstone Greenstone Belt (SSGB) is located at the northern end of the Southern Cross Province in the Archean Yilgarn Block of Western Australia. The belt is triangular in shape and has been interpreted as a north-plunging antiform, bounded on the east and west by two major trans-cratonic faults, the Edale and Youanmi faults respectively.
