In 1985, the mine was purchased by Norquest Company which proceeded to install a modern mill and ore concentrator. The mine then employed 40 to 50 men but only worked it for three years. In 2012, plans were made to reopen Gladiator Mine. However, this same year a massive forest fire started in the area, destroying numerous historic sites. The fate of Gladiator Mine is unknown.
