This is the first exploration campaign which analysed for gold and impressive drilling results for gold were encountered including: 3m @ 4.87g/t Au, 3m @ 3.38g/t Au, 89m @ 1.57g/t Au, 5m @ 2.77g/t Au, and 40m @ 1.37g/t Au.Range Lighthouse: The 1868 Copper Harbor Range Lighthouse is shown prior to the start of restoration efforts, which are ongoing.

Finally, in 1851, another new apparatus installed, but the ship owners still considered the light unsatisfactory. In 1858 the newly formed Hobart Marine Board took control of light. By now a stone hut had been built for the keepers. You can build your C.A.M.P. close to a Copper deposit or take a workshop with a Copper deposit close by. This allows you to build a Copper Extractor on that deposit. This will allow you to loot 10 Copper ore every 10 minutes per vein.
