The need for a council at Huntly arose from gold and quartz mining in the area, including alluvial deposits and some deep leads in the area.

The mines around Moolort were significant because they were the first deep lead mines in the Maldon Mining Division and among the first to use electrical power.

Deep lead mining was initially unsuccessful, and it was not until the late 1870s that the Franklinford Gold Mining Company mined at Mount Franklin on a significant scale.

Miners discovered so-called deep leads, which were gold-bearing watercourses that had been buried at various depths by centuries of silting and, in some Victorian goldfields such as Ballarat, electoral franchise to them.

Clarke's Mine and Battery also represents two distinct phases in the life of the Charters Towers field : the initial prospecting and working of surface outcrops, then the latter reworking of reef offshoots from the surface workings following the exhaustion of the deep leads in the centre of the town.
