Skarn deposit
A former minor mine.

Discovered by McKane, J. and Sons and Chaffey, J.R., in September 1907.

The four recognised lodes (1;2;3;4) outcropped in a steep gorge of Rolfe's Creek (possibly Jones' Creek) that runs into Ettrema Creek at approximately 426 metres above sea level.

There was and is no road access to this mine, bur rather access was down via 60 metre ladders and then via a small track cut into the sandstone. These difficulties restricted the development of the mine.

Approximately 122 metres of adits, shafts and drives were created at the mine and 400 tons of material removed.
