Development was carried out prior to 1920 with the construction of 10 open pits and a number of diamond drill holes. The primary commodities mined at Norrie were copper and nickel. Secondary commodities included lead, gold, zinc and silver.{{cite mdi|MDI31M04SW00081|Norrie, L.B.|2012-03-15}} In 1941, {{nowrap|{{Convert|69|m|ft|abbr=on}}}} of diamond drilling was completed under the supervision of R.
