The lease was pegged in November 1895, after the original gold discovery in the area, called the Oasis became known. The North Pole borders the Oasis to the north. The North Pole was originally called the Alaska.
The lease was pegged by G.H. Brown, for influential State politicians Forrest and Marmion. After the mine was worked for some time, it was abandoned, only to be re-pegged by Brown in 1897.
Soon after W.E. Miller who controlled the neighbouring Oasis Reward lease, took over the mine, and spent ten years in a fruitless search for gold.
The Great Ophir company then took over the mine around 1910, after it had been idle for some time, and conducted some development work.
Bewick Moreing and Co took out a sampling option over the mine in 1914, as they had done also in 1901. It is noted there was some un-specified mining activity in 1933, and a crushing was found in 1938.
Western Mining Corporation took out a sampling option in 1947. The owner of the mine was J.T. Searle.
The historic workings have been swallowed up in the northern section of the Golden Eagle open pit, developed by the Western Mining Corporation in 1986.
