The Marvel Loch Gold Mine is a gold mine located at Marvel Loch, 30 km (19 mi) south of Southern Cross, Western Australia.
It is operated by St Barbara Limited.[1] Apart from Marvel Loch, St Barbara also operated the Gwalia Gold Mine at Leonora and owned the Tarmoola Gold Mine, which was placed in care and maintenance.[2][3]
All three mines were previously owned by the now defunct mining company Sons of Gwalia Limited.[4] Sons of Gwalia went into administration on 30 August 2004 and the company's gold mining operations were sold to St Barbara in March 2005 for A$38 million, having been valued by the Sons of Gwalia directors at A$120 million. While Marvel Loch was operational before and after the sale, the Gwalia mine was already placed in care and maintenance at the time of the transaction. A fourth mine, the Carosue Dam Gold Mine, ceased operation in June 2005 and was sold by St Barbara.[5][6][7]
The mine is owned by Barto Gold Mining but operated by Minjar Gold.
