The Maninga Marley North Gold Mine is about 20 kilometres south-east of Sandstone, near the Sandstone-Menzies Road. The Havilah mine is north-west and Maninga Marley parent mine south-east. The North lease occupied the central saddle area of the Maninga Marley Reef. However initially from 1906, they failed to locate it, instead hitting the Havilah Reef, flat dipping, 3-5 feet wide with good gold values.
The mine was owned by Tom Dunne and Fitzpatrick (surname). Dunne had searched for gold across the Murchison with little success until he reached the Maninga Marley North. By 1909, they were accessing a parallel reef, which may have been the Maninga Marley Reef.
But it appears the prospecting bug got the better of Tom, and in 1910 he is reported exploring for new goldfields in the Mt Egerton district, a long way from Sandstone. It is confirmed in 1911, the mine is idle. GML 788B, 24 acres.
