A former small mine operated as underground, shafts, adits and opencut.
The highest and lowest adits were approximatley 100 metres apart.
This mine and others in the area are located in what is also known as the βTaylors Arm Antimony Provinceβ. This terminology appears on many geological maps.
The mines in the area are approximately 30 to 40km west of Macksville and to the immediate East and West of the Taylors Arm River.
