Located 48 km south east of Wyloo.
Stratified mineralisation in tightly folded quartz-sericite schist and quartzite on the south limb of an easterly trending anticline. Galena, with associated pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, marcasite, cubanite, stibnite, covellite, sphalerite, bornite, dugenite, chalcocite. Also anglesite, hinsdalite, mansfieldtite and malachite.
Found as stringers, massive lenses and later cross cutting quartz-carbonate veins in metasiltstone containing also kaolin, schorl, brecciated and carbonated. A few old small pits indicate past minor mining. Explored by Mallina/Newmont 1980, and Gododex 1971-1975.
