Gold Processing in Action

Discover the power and ingenuity of historic gold processing at the Coromandel Gold Stamper Battery

 

                                Check out “News from the Stamper” for our School Holiday Hours

Step back in time at the Coromandel Gold Stamper Battery

Historic, original, and one of a kind—preserved and operating for over 100 years.

Each guided 15–20 minute tour features the working stamper battery in action, a demonstration of the historic mini jaw crusher, and the chance for a lucky visitor to try crushing rock themselves.

Finish your visit by seeing New Zealand’s largest working water wheel, then explore the surrounding reserve and climb 140 steps to a scenic lookout with stunning views of the Coromandel landscape.
