The Constance Una Gold Mine is part of the Dulcie group of mines, approximately 40 kilometres south of Marvel Loch, and within 100 metres west of the Marvel Loch- Forrestania Road.
The first information found under this name was in 1933, when J.E. McCann and J. Carlson was crushing ore. Crushing details were found under their names until 1937, of small tonnages but rich in gold.
After the war, brothers F. and A. Robinson, and F. Bottcher re-opened the mine in 1947. Slightly more substantial crushings, but still rich in gold is found for them until 1950. In 1949, they erected a 3 head battery at the site, after other batteries in the region closed down or were non operational. GML 3411.
