GML 603. Half the lease was covered by the reef, the other half by the normally dry creek. It was largely an alluvial lease. A shaft had been sunk 14 feet, on a reef 9 feet thick, which splits into two at depth. The quartz reef contained minor pyrite and malachite in addition to gold. The reef at one point south of the shaft, bulges to 25 feet wide, but then thins rapidly. It was active in 1899, but little work is thought to have occurred beyond this.
