1939: The Ronda Mine was established to mine the Ribble quartz vein. Two shafts and six levels developed a small portion of the vein with production mainly from the fifth level and upwards. The mine was closed due to the beginning of the war and the resulting shortage of labour and was never reopened. A land dispute after the war suppressed much of the exploration until 1995. 1996: Strike Minerals Inc. drilled 16 holes.
