While long-established agricultural activities dominate (including sheep, cattle and buffalo grazing and wheat cropping. Companies actively exploring the area early in the 21st century included Eyre Iron Pty Ltd (a joint venture of Centrex Metals) and Lincoln Minerals. Eyre Iron's proposed Fusion Magnetite Project was the most advanced prospective mine development project in the area. Graphite was first mined in the area in 1866. The Koppio Graphite Mine originally operated in the early 1900s and was revisited between 1941 and 1944.. The Koppio Smithy Museum is a 1.0 hectare (2.5 acres) property managed by the National Trust of South Australia which features a collection of early colonial buildings and heritage artifacts collected from across Eyre Peninsula.
