This property was worked from 1922 to 1925 by Mr. T. H. Craig, of Perth. A
single pit was opened on a 40-foot dyke of pink spar cutting crystalline
limestone. The deposit contains considerable soda spar, much of which
is the variety peristerite and exhibits an attractive colour-play. Calcite
is also present in the dyke. Shipments are said to have totaled about
1,500 tons. (Spence 1932)
