Griffin Mine Site (first) is not considered to have cultural heritage significance. It was included in the 1996 Shire of Collie Municipal Heritage Inventory and the record has been retained for information purposes only.
Former mine site.
Griffin Coal has been active in the Collie area since 1923 when a private syndicate was formed to develop coal leases south of Collie to supply coal to Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR). In 1925 the syndicate was known as the Western Australian Coal Mining Briquetting and By-Product Company Ltd. In 1927 it became known as the Griffin Coal Mining Company Pty Ltd and supplied coal for shipping, railways and the WA goldfields. The entrance is thought have been located near the Griffin Rail Bridge and Minninup Pool. Griffin Coal continues to be an active mining company in the Collie area. Further investigation is required to determine the exact location of the mine at which time its level of significance may be reconsidered.
