Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Phillips Tungsten property; Phillips Cinnabar
This property was formerly known as the Phillips Tungsten property. Three adits had been driven, 171 feet, 54 feet and 23 feet respectively and an
underhand stope and several hundred feet of trenches and open-cuts
have been dug. About 41 tons of cobbed high-grade ore and 20 tons
of low-grade ore have been mined (circa 1940).
Scheelite was discovered in the summer of 1939 in Tyaughton Creek Valley, in the Bridge River area, on ground owned by Edwin Phillips of Minto City and staked originally for cinnabar.
