Former MC131 contains alluvial cassiterite and columbite-tantalite diggings along Houston Creek in an area known as Wagon Wheel Patch. Nearby in the same licence are excavations in two pegmatites named Workings No 1 and 2. Gilbert and G Houston's Shaft is thought to be in the north-east corner of MC131, described as a manganotantalite-spodumene pegamatite, but could be the same location as Working No1. W.E. Griffiths Lode MC is also in MC131 and may also be referring to Working No 1.
