Frogmore is a small town in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. The community hall was burned down in a bushfire in 1997, and fundraising for its replacement included a Pass the hat around concert by Lee Kernaghan.^[7]

Copper was first discovered and mined in Frogmore in the 1850s, but mining has not continued since 1907, despite further exploration since the 1950s.^[5] Silver and tungsten have also been mined around Frogmore.^[7]

In the 1870s, there were two copper mines operating in Frogmore — the Deer Brothers mine and the Bensusan mine.^[8][9]
