Marigold is owned and operated by Marigold Mining Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SSR Mining Inc. Marigold is located in southern Humboldt County, Nevada, in the northern foothills of the Battle Mountain Range, approximately 60 kilometers east of the town of Winnemucca and five kilometers south-southwest of the town of Valmy.

In production since 1989, Marigold is a large run-of-mine (ROM) heap leach operation with several open-pits, waste rock stockpiles, leach pads, a carbon absorption facility, and a carbon processing and gold refining facility. Currently the mine utilizes a fleet of 290-tonne haul trucks and three loading units. 

The Marigold processing plant combines industry standard ROM heap leaching, carbon adsorption, carbon desorption and electro-winning circuits to produce a final precious metal (doré) product.
