Located approximately 89 kilometres south-west of Halls Creek.

Jacobson et.al. states this location is the historic pegmatite mining field, whereas the other localities under Mt Dockrell were named from exploration in more recent times. GPS co-ordinates are suggested as 315,002E and 7,907,614N, UTM52, GDA94 on former ML18 by MINEDEX, or (Hassan 2000) states it is at 314,765E and 7,907,479N, UTM52, GDA94.

The pegmatites here were discovered in 1927 by Brens and Lidster. Alluvial cassiterite mining then occurred on ML 13,15,16, and 17 in the creek bed itself. Lithiophilite-triphylite large masses were observed from a weathered outcrop near here by Finucane (1938). Australian Anglo American Prospecting Pty Ltd searched unsuccessfully for economic amounts of niobium and tantalum across the Mount Dockrell area across 1980-1982. Around 1990, Roebuck Resources NL, conducted stream sediment sampling in the Columbium Creek area without success.

Jacobson et.al. states the pegmatites in the Columbium Creek area are up to 150 metres long by 3 to 60 metres wide.
