The Fat Cow prospect is approximately 3 kilometres north of the Bonya Mine, and several hundred metres west of the Ashmara Mine.
The prospect contains some rusting drums of copper oxide material, indicating some minor mining in the past. This shows as malachite and chrysocolla stained rocks, both in the drums, and surface of the prospect.
Rock chip sampling by Rox Resources achieved 4.08% Cu, relatively high Bi values, and minor Pb, Zn, Ag, and Au values.
