Mining was restarted last year on a trial basis by ASX-listed Greenstone Resources and privately owned FMR Investments.
The plan was to establish underground drilling platforms to explore for new ore reserves.
Greenstone Resources managing director Chris Hansen said the early signs were good, with the deepest drilling testing 450 metres below the surface and hitting visible gold.
"Historically, operations only mined down to about 140-150 metres," Mr Hansen said.
"To put that into broader context for you, a number of the other mines within the region will often mine down to 1,000-1,200 metres below surface quite comfortably.
