A gold mine operated 1939-2003 exploiting the same deposit as the adjacent Negus Mine, which was operated from 1939-1952. The mines were later interconnected. The minerals described by Ridland (1941) are identical for the two mines. Many of the rare species were confirmed in the 1950s by Colman by XRD.

Regional Geology

This geological map and associated information on rock units at or nearby to the coordinates given for this locality is based on relatively small scale geological maps provided by various national Geological Surveys. This does not necessarily represent the complete geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.
