GML 604 (formerly GML 476). By 1908 the mine had produced 2356 ounces of gold, although by this stage the workings had been abandoned and were water filled. The original prospectors were Hall and Cooke (surnames) in 1898. The lease was surrendered in 1901, then repegged as GML 604.
On the lease is a north-west to south-east leader, described as eye shaped masses of quartz in older quartz, 4 foot thick, with a small open cut in one section.
On the main reef was veins of quartz 130 feet long, containing two shafts and open cut. At the south-west end was a large lenticular mass of bluish quartz several feet thick.
Another shaft down to 84 feet was on a small reef to the south. To the north-west was a tortuous reef 140 feet long, traversed by two
faults and an open cut.
Little of the old workings appear to remain, however many shallow bulldozed areas for nuggets and near surface gold can be found extending north-west, probably incorporating several mines in this section, the exact locations no longer able to be confirmed.
