A Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Au mine located atop Mt Read, 6 miles South of Rosebery. The ore is similar to Rosebery (massive, pyrite-rich sulphide ore), but is more metamorphosed and deformed. Mining was mostly from 1894-1986, but there has been some small scale mining at times since; operations apparently finally ceased in 2000. Rehabilitation works began in 2004/2005. There are small remnants of the gossan in an open cut at the summit.
