Located 88 km east of Derby. 12 kms north-west of Narlarla.

Limestone reef capped by cobbly dolomite conglomerate. Mineralised host is red algal wackestones and stylobedded fossilferous silty dolomite. Mineralisation is found in tabular stratabound lenses in vuggy dolomite. Covers an area of 300 metres length striking north north-west, 30-80 metres wide, and 3 to 30 metres thick, up to 250 metres below the surface with no outcropping.

Complex granular and colloform intergrowths, and semi massive sphalerite, galena, with lesser pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, bornite, digenite, covellite and bravoite. Green chloritic clay is found in the Hanging Wall. Discovered 1980 by Shell, and BHP Billiton.
