[92] No data. [93] Totals for years 1914-1917 include estimates of production of countries from which data are lacking. The Hillgrove district, in New South Wales, was formerly of considerable importance, the highest annual output being 2,450 tons of ore in 1906. Recent production has been slight, and although a very large increase took place with the stimulus of war prices, the 1917 production was valued at only about 5 per cent. of that of Victoria. Insignificant amounts of antimony ore have recently been produced in Queensland and Western Australia. New Zealand yielded a small amount during the boom of 1906 and 1907, but no production is recorded since 1910. Imports of antimony ore into Great Britain from Australia in 1915 amounted to 3,854 tons. Statistics of production (1912-1917) are given in the table preceding.
