Yes, and the 1899 newspaper cutting that Jan has linked at both the threads actually gives the name of Peter Glover's company.   

Rusted, are you offering George Lansell as the real name of the Peter Glover that our OP is seeking?

Trove has obits for him, including there's this one in Punch

That death is indexed at Vic BDM # 562, in 1906

Geo LANSELL, age 82, died Bgo, father as Thos LANSELL, mother as Elizth (Budds). http://www.bdm.vic.gov.au/home/family+history/search+your+family+history/

Not at all, most of these were companies and our Mr Glover could have been a shareholder in any of them, I was just attempting to illustrate the difficulty of searching for a particular mine by its name.
