The small abandoned Panther open pit is about 40 kilometres north of Coolgardie, bordering the west side of the Jaurdi Hills Road. The Black Cat North open pit is about 1 kilometre to the south. Panther was developed briefly in 2001 by Kinver Mining NL. The operation was unsuccessful, and caused Kinver to sink under debt. The mine along with Black Cat was then sold to Ramelius Resources.
Panther is on a north trending shear zone, dipping 40 to 60 degrees west. Gold is found in numerous quartz veins in a weathered ultramafic unit, near the contact with basalt. The quartz veins range from narrow stringers, to ones up to 3 metres thick. At depth there is a significant increase in the oxidation profile along the shear zone, with strong supergene enrichment.
