It was discovered initially in 1865. The mine was operated primarily from 1895 to 1980. During its' time it was considered to have a relatively small production size. The host rock of the mine was granite, typical for the geography of the area. The main method of mining undertaken at the Octave Gold Mine was by working underground via a single known shaft. The work was expanded to three shafts in the 1930's and 40's.
