Could it be the Rasp Mine operated by CBH Resources in Broken Hill?

It's obviously an open cut mine somewhere in NSW. How about Lightning Ridge?

I think I might change that last answer to Peak Hill.

No to Wallerawang & Emu Plains.
OK time for some indirect clues:
1. 3.5 million tonnes of material is removed from the site every year
2. It's a rare mine because water is welcomed not avoided like most other mines. Water flows freely through the porous material and has a good river to drain into!

No to Wedderburn & Mt Thorley. Moderator let me know when I need to reveal the answer. Here are some pics that may possibly give some more clues!

If no one has guessed the correct answer by the 25th April then you need to reveal the answer as that will have been five days since you posted the photo.
Rixs Creek?
