In 1894, George Woodley discovered gold 77 kilometres east of Perenjori. Initially the site was known as Woodley's Find. By 1897 the various leases had been purchased by the Glasgow Syndicate. The town of Rothsay developed to service the mine and had a population of 300 people. The gold was transported to Yalgoo for processing before being carted to Perth. However, the presence of copper in the ore made extraction of the gold difficult and the mine was abandoned in 1902. During this period 90 000 ounces of gold was extracted. The seam of gold ran for 61 metres.

The mine was re-opened in 1935 by flamboyant mining entreprenuer Charles de Bernales, who was well known at the time in raising funds in London for Western Australian mining projects. This time water in the shaft was the problem, and the mine closed in 1939. In 1987 Metana Minerals again opened the mine as a small open cut but closed within 5 years. The lease has passed through several companies since. The present (2013) owner is newly formed Auricup Resources who plans to re-open the mine, and exploration work is confirmed. At the time of writing the company has not produced a geology report in the public domain.

The Warriedar copper prospect is east of here between Rothsay and Mount Mulgine.

Not alot remains of the ghost-town other than foundations, miners graves, and a derelict shaft. It is located on a tourist drive from Perenjori, and information signs are located at the site.

Deep green chromium rich common opal has been reported from the mine dump way back in 1952.
