GML 564. The Imperialist line of reefs are 400 feet to the south of the main workings at Warrawoona, outcropping for 2200 feet. The Imperialist lease contained three shafts at the western extremity of the outcroppings. The reefs were steep north dipping quartz with fragmented serpentinite, and large calcite veins to 12 inches thick, in talc-chlorite schist country rock.
The Imperialist was discovered mid 1899, and pegged as a 6 acres lease by W. Jackson, George Town and John William Waller. In 1900, they sold the lease to Hayes and Mahnert.
In 1910, William Fredericks, Frank Atkins, and David C. Deuchar pegged the lease. GML 711. The mine produced a total of 695 tonnes of ore for 719 ounces of gold.
