The Glenloth Goldfield was found with the discovery of alluvial gold in 1893, and established in 1901 when auriferous reefs were identified. Between 1901 and 1955, approximately 9800 oz (315 kg) of gold was produced from 14,620 t of ore, at an average grade of 21.6 g/t2. The Fabian 3, Royal Tiger (excised from tenure) and the Glen Markie and Jay-Jay mines were considered the largest historical producers. Since 1955, gold production has been small and sporadic.
