Located 0.75 kilometres south-east of the Quarry Camp Mindat locality and near Quarry Camp 3. Set on a low hill, a trial pit was developed 12 metres long by 8 metres wide on a dolerite dyke system.

An on the ground inspection is needed, as satellite images are unclear regarding any small workings in the area.
