History:
1953-59: No. 1 and No. 2 shafts were completed to 3476 feet and 3163 feet. A level was established at a depth of 3100 feet on which 7056 feet of drifting and 4286 feet of crosscutting were completed.
1958-59: production 205,000 tons ore. 1959: Mine was closed.
Geology:
Brannerite and monazite are the ore minerals in a qtz pebble conglomerate within the Matinenda Fm. The ore zone is a conglomerate unit up to 20 feet thick, of which an average of 10 feet is ore grade. The body strikes N70W, dips 17 S and is 2100 feet long by 400 feet wide. The conglomerate consists of closely packed, subrounded quartz pebbles and cobbles in a matrix containing pyrite, hematite, magnetite and zircon.
