A cassiterite, amblygonite and beryl bearing pegmatite, worked from 1887 through to probably the 80's-90's. Tin mineralisation historically was low grade and patchy. Some beryl and amblygonite has been won, however beryllium and lithium grades were quite low. Notably, the beryl from this mine is a caesium bearing variety, vorobyevite.
