The Mannahill area has been prospected and mined since 1881, with ore being treated at numerous locations and by several processes. Gold occurs sporadically in quartz veining over 70 square km. The maximum depth of any working is < 80 metres on the incline, or < 30 metres vertically. Copper, silver, lead and bismuth minerals are associated with the gold ore in small amounts. Total recorded production to 31/12/87 is 106 582.76 grams of gold bullion from 5 852.45 tonnes of ore; a yield of 18.21 g/t.
