A local specimen miner has reported an occurrence of epidote-quartz-axinite rock from an unknown site on Turee Creek Station. It comprises a vein of these species up to 25 cm that intersects the Weeli Wolli Formation. This formation is composed of banded iron ore intruded by numerous dolerite sills. It is thought the epidote-quartz-axinite was formed from hydrothermal alteration.
