Located 41 km ESE of Mount Tom Price.

From little things, big things grow. This location was no more than a small supergene pod in barren quartz, yet produced two species new to science.

It is a weathering pocket of a sulphide assemblage that was originally galena and chalcopyrite.

Danielsite was named after Dr John L. Daniels, who collected the material and is a geologist with Geoscan Pty Ltd. Only two specimens are known to exist, one housed in Museum Victoria, and the holotype specimen with the Western Australian Museum.

Perroudite has three co-type localities - Cap Garonne, France; Broken Hill, New South Wales; and Coppin Pool, Western Australia. Perroudite occurs at Coppin Pool as coatings of prismatic crystals from 0.05 to 0.025 mm in small cavities.

The unnamed species (and their associates) described by Nickel (1985) are said to be found in the vicinity of Coppin Pool.

The Mindat co-ordinates are approximate.
