A peak, yes. But where the entire hill is made from the tailings of an 
open cut mine (very large - both the hill and the mine) I don't think it 
can be said to be 'natural'. It is man made.
And this particular peak is prominent in the surrounding landscape, it 
is used as a tourist view point for the district.
