[edit] History
Ardlethan established in the 19th century after gold was discovered but gold mining was shortlived.
In 1961 tin mining started in the town which lasted until 1986. The tin mine was reopened in late 2001 but closed in mid 2004 after Marlborough Resources was placed under voluntary administration and lower-than-expected tin reserves[5]
