Development was carried out prior to 1920 with the construction of 10 open pits and a number of diamond drill holes.[1] The primary commodities mined at Norrie were copper and nickel. Secondary commodities included lead, gold, zinc and silver.[2] In 1941, 69 m (226 ft) of diamond drilling was completed under the supervision of R. A. Percy.[1][3] Picked samples from waste rock dumps were said to contain copper and low nickel values.[3] Sampling in 2005 assayed 0.15% nickel and 3.5% copper.[2]
