Located near the headwaters of the Mangakara Stream. Worked by tributers 1886 to 1903. The site had a 9 stamp battery and 3 berdans, erected in 1886, and several adits. The mine produced 101 ounces of gold from 234 tonnes of quartz.

The host rock is Mangakara dacite, consisting of pyroxene-hornblende dacite and rhyodacite flows.

The near surface has weathered to orange-yellow iron oxyhydroxides, and at depth in fracture zones. Hematite is patchily distributed along the eastern margins of the deposit. It consists of thin 1-10 mms wide quartz hematite veins, and hematite filled fractures, with late calcite commonly cutting the veins, and centrally filling these veins also.

The deposit contains interstratified illite-smectite, minor chlorite, clinopilolite, mordenite and stilbite veins up to 1.5 cms wide.

Mindat co-ordinates are approximate.
