Located 30 km north of Cue. Cu-Zn-Pb anomalies.
Gold and base metal prospect. Massive or semi massive sulphides, dominated by pyrrhotite, pyrite and to a lesser extent arsenopyrite, with associated gold. Prospects have been named as Placer, Stockyard East, Stockyard West and AM14, along a 6 kilometre north north-west strike.
Explored since 1969 by Kennco, Eastmet and Esso.
Mineralisation is hosted by quartz-muscovite-chlorite phyllite or schist, amygadoidal pale coloured metabasalts, intruded by metagabbro.
The Mindat co-ordinates are approximate.
