[26] In early 1934, Jack Gordon prospected the Iron Range locality from the Packers Creek field near Portland Roads.

In June 1934, he followed a gold trail up a tributary of Gordon Creek, a branch of the Claudie River, and discovered what was later called the Iron Range Reef.

Although the original ore was shipped and railed to the Venus battery at Charters Towers for treatment, the Iron Range mill was in full operation by November 1936 after a Huntington mill was erected by Jack Gordon at the mine following great difficulties in transportation.

In 1938, the Iron Range mill operated for most of the year; a cyanide plant was installed and 29 men were employed.
