Locality type:


Located 60 kilometres south-east of Kambalda, and two kilometres west north-west of the Binneringie pegmatites (tantalite mine).

It was first mined for tantalum minerals by Max and Stan Strindberg in 1986 to 1990. Low tantalum prices and litigation with another group claiming ownership saw mining stop in 1990. Mining again commenced in the early 2000's as part of the nearby Binneringie Mine by Australasian Gold Mines NL, and Tantalum Australia NL.

The pegmatites are similar to those at nearby Bald Hill, being gently dipping to horizontal north-south trending sheets, 2 to 10 metres in thickness. The pegmatites show albite-quartz-microcline-muscovite, and albite-spodumene-muscovite. They are either poorly zoned or unzoned. Spodumene occurs as crystals up to 1 metre in length, with tantalite intergrowth in the albite-muscovite. Tantalite occurs as sub-centimetre crystals, with rare coarser crystals to 2cm.
