The Emily Ann and Maggie Hays nickel deposits are situated approximately 150 km west of the town of Norseman, Western Australia, within the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt.

Famous quotes containing the words ann, nickel and/or mines:

    ... the true seeing is within; and painting stares at you with an insistent imperfection.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Castro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    The humblest observer who goes to the mines sees and says that gold-digging is of the character of a lottery; the gold thus obtained is not the same thing with the wages of honest toil. But, practically, he forgets what he has seen, for he has seen only the fact, not the principle, and goes into trade there, that is, buys a ticket in what commonly proves another lottery, where the fact is not so obvious.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
