Located 7.5 kilometres south-east of Ruby Well. The source states the Great Northern Highway transects the lease, and the deposit was discovered during a highway realignment in the 1970's. In 2000, two nugget patches were uncovered yielding 40 oz and 50 oz, 1 kilometre south of the highway. A number of companies have explored the area.
