The discovery site was the Golden Crown Mine, {{convert|2|km}} southwest of the current mine mill. Activity in subsequent years was subdued until a major movement of prospectors into the area in late 1907.[1] By 1908 however, the Youanmi Gold Mine was set up and the local population grew to such an extent that the local Youanme Progress Committee requested the declaration of a townside in 1910.[1] The town's name was originally spelt Yuani, which was thought to correctly represent the aboriginal name, but this was soon dropped in favour of Youanmi. The name Youanmi was first recorded by a surveyour in 1887, as the name of a local spring, pointed out to him by a local aboriginal accompanying him. Following the survey of lots, the townsite was gazetted in August 1910.[1] The first pastoral lease were being established at this time.[2] The mine was owned by London-based company Yuanmi Gold Mines, Limited.[3] On Christmas Eve, 1929 Arthur Upfield met Snowy Rowles at Youanmi, after the latter had just murdered James Ryan and George Lloyd, in a case known as the Murchison Murders.[4][5] With the closure of the gold mine in 1942, Youanmi was almost completely abandoned.[6][7] Mining at Youanmi resumed in the 1980s, when the gold mine reopened, but because of the fly-in fly-out nature of present-day mining, the town was not reestablished. Mining continued until 1997, when the mine was closed once more.[8][9] At the time of its second closure, Youanmi had produced 670,000 ounces of gold throughout its lifetime.[10] References1. ^1 2 3 {{LandInfo WA|c|Y|24 January 2010}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.agwestinternational.wa.gov.au/objtwr/imported_assets/content/lwe/land/tb_90_sandstone_part_i.pdf|title=Technical bulletin - An inventory and condition survey of the Sandstone-Yalgoo-Paynes Find area, Western Australia|issue=90|date=2 December 2008|accessdate=24 March 2014|publisher=Government of Western Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news | url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article26344128 | title=Mining Stocks and Shares - Mining Notes | work=The West Australian | date=29 June 1911 | page=8 | accessdate=26 March 2014 }} 4. ^Dromedary Hills, Youanmi - Murders on the Rabbit Proof Fence accessed: 23 January 2010 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bookorphanage.com/upfield.html|title=Arthur Upfield|publisher=Bookorphanage.com|accessdate=2009-08-09}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite book | last1 = Hooper | first1 = Jean M. | title = Youanmi : A Story of Murchison Gold | publisher = Hesperian Press | year = 1987 | isbn = 0-85905-104-8}} 7. ^Youanmi, Australia REBgold Corp., accessed: 22 February 2011 8. ^Annual Report 2008 APEX ASX announcement, published: 24 October 2008, accessed: 22 January 2010 9. ^Apex unveils gold strategy with three WA acquisitions APEX ASX announcement, published: 3 May 2007, accessed: 22 January 2010 10. ^Youanmi Project Voltaresources website (formerly Goldcrest), accessed: 22 January 2010 Further reading
