The Irene Betty underground gold mine is about 2 kilometres north of Southern Cross on the southern shores of the Lake Koorkoordine salt-pan. The Hope's Hill Gold Mine is directly north.
Only one source was found which simply states the mine is owned by Hamed Mining Pty Ltd. Sheds, machinery, possibly a small gold processing plant is found on the lease. No information was found on the company and I suspect its either a small private firm, or well financed prospector.
