Magazine Hill, located on the site of the New Century mine, was traditionally used as a camp site for recently initiated men. The Waanyi Native Title Aboriginal Corporation agreed to excavation around the hill. A group of Waanyi elders is trying to stop the excavation for fears the hill will be damaged or destroyed.

A trailblazing model of mining in which traditional owners tap the contracting know-how of a mining services giant is under way in northwest Queensland.
The local Waanyi people have formed a joint venture with Downer to develop, expand and work Century zinc mine, 250km north of Mount Isa, for New Century Resources.
The deal will see Waanyi people, most living at nearby Doomadgee, Mornington Island or Mount Isa, benefiting from salaried jobs as fitters, mechanics and machinery operators offered by their own contracting joint venture, and from an equal share in profits as contract mining service partner for work performed for NCR.
