The Mount Ida Gold Mine is a gold mine located 86 km north-west of Menzies, Western Australia. Gold was initially encountered on-site in 1895 which led to gold rush and an increase of population in the area. The mine was formerly owned by Monarch Gold Mining Company Ltd, and went on care and mainten
ance when Monarch went into administration in June 2008. The mine was subsequently owned by Ora Banda Mining, a successor of Monarch Gold, until sold by the company to Red Dirt Metals in 2021.
