The Mount Monger Goldfield experienced numerous booms of activity over its history, between periods of relative idleness. The Royal Oak was active at the beginning in 1896, where gold was found at the 100 foot level. It next came to prominence in 1906. 18 acres. Four men were employed. One shaft was down to 100 feet and another to 60 feet, and driven for 200 feet. 300 tonnes were extracted over 8 months averaging 12.5 dwt. By the following year the lease was under exemption.
