Thelarge Red Dome open pit gold mine was developed on the site of a number of older workings; Magazine Face, Red Dome, Dorothy etc. Large scale open cut mining commenced in the mid-1980s and was completed by 1996. Milling continued for some time after. Processing of oxide ore was done by heap leach with primary ore later treated by CIL method and flotation. The mine was dominantly a gold mine but also produced significant amounts of copper.
