Radium Hill is a former minesite in South Australia which operated from 1906 until 1961. It was Australia's first uranium mine, years before the country's next major mines at Rum Jungle in the Northern Territory (opened in 1950), and the Mary Kathleen mine in Queensland (1958). The associated settlement which once housed up to 1,100 people is now a ghost town, largely abandoned and demolished. The former townsite and cemetery were provisionally listed on the South Australian Heritage Register on 24 August 2016. During its main period of production between 1954 and 1961 the mine produced nearly 1 million tonnes of davidite-bearing ore to produce about 860 tons of U3O8.

  • Radium Hill ist ein ehemaliges Bergwerk in South Australia, das von 1906 bis 1961 betrieben wurde. Es befindet sich etwa 460 Kilometer nördlich von Adelaide, 110 Kilometer südwestlich von Broken Hill und war die erste Uranmine in Australien, lange bevor die nächsten größeren Bergwerke wie Rum Jungle im Northern Territory (1950) oder Mary Kathleen in Queensland (1958) errichtet wurden. Die dazugehörige Arbeitersiedlung, in der einst bis zu 1.100 Menschen lebten, ist zum großen Teil abgerissen und heute eine Geisterstadt. Während die Produktion in den Jahren 1954 bis 1961 ihren Höhepunkt erreichte, wurden hier fast eine Million Tonnen Daviditerz gefördert, aus dem 860 Tonnen Uranoxid (gemessen als Uran(V,VI)-oxid U3O8) gewonnen wurden.
