This is a recent find south of the Blue Funnel Gold Mine, and on the south-east trend of the Zuleika Shear. So far the site is only marked with 5 costeans, striking north-east to south-west, up to 500 metres long, and about 100-200 metres apart, cut in the 1990's. Gold is found in a package of black shales and basalt, with ultramafics to the east, and sedimentary rocks to the west. The costeans reach up to 30 metres deep, and tested at 1-2 g/t gold. There are little in the way of old workings in this area.
