No, L&M did not mine Stoney creek, mick Sarginson mined Stoney creek, along with Mo his son, a lot of mining experience and knowledge among the Sarginson brothers as 2 of them worked and managed the top and bottom L&M plants on the shotover

No, L&M mined the Shotover and later on the Nokomai and Victoria Gully

Didn’t L&M have a play up the Nevis as well as in the Kawarau?

Pretty sure L&M started out mining Lime & Marble, hence L&M, up Takaka way.
