The Eclipse Gold Mine is a series of east-west historic shafts, immediately east of the Sapphire Gold Mine open pit. It is about 200 metres east of the Niagara Dam turn-off, and 50 metres south of the Kookynie Road.
No historic information was found, but it is noted by a modern exploration company. This far east section of the Niagara main lode contains JORC estimated resources of 111 000 tonnes of ore at 1.4 g/t yielding 5000 ounces of gold.
