Located approx 2 miles north of Cleve and 25 miles west of Cowell.
Originally opened in 1915 as a copper, silver and lead mine, it was later (circ 1950's) found to contain small amounts of uranium mineralisation. This was never formally identified due to the lack of quantity present.
Workings consisted of several shafts, trenches and open pits on the side of a low hill, 230ft above the plain.
