There is the Nephton Mine is located north of Havelock, that's why the railway still goes that far. Most of the other mines in the area closed a while ago. There used to be a lot of mining activity in the Marmora area. The Deloro site, just east of Marmora, is a former mine and had a former associated metal refining facility. That area had a pretty significant environmental rehabilitation project that was ongoing for several years, but most of that work is done now too.
I agree though, Highway 7 is popular with commercial truck traffic, particularly at night.
